ORIGIN AND TREATMENT METHODS OF DOWN SYNDROME
Keywords:
Down syndrome, genetic mutation, diagnostics, karyotyping, therapeutic rehabilitation, inclusive education, physiotherapy, family counseling.Abstract
This article is devoted to the genetic and epigenetic origin of Down syndrome and modern medical and pedagogical treatment methods. The article analyzes the genetic mutations of Down syndrome, the impact of the disease on the indicators and quality of life in adolescence and childhood. The accuracy of symptoms, diagnostic methods (in situ hybridization, karyotyping) and the importance of early diagnosis are considered. The effectiveness of interventions such as medications, physiotherapy, speech therapy, inclusive education and family counseling services in treatment is also evaluated. The empirical part analyzes the diagnostic and rehabilitation metrics based on the results of clinical observation and social surveys. The analysis and discussion section discusses comparisons with the scientific literature, advantages and limitations of treatment methods, and directions for future research. The conclusions of the article note the need to strengthen an integrated approach to improving the quality of life of children with Down syndrome.
