FREE Webinar 👉 Puberty in Down Syndrome

Puberty is a normal part of growth and maturation that comes with its own challenges. People with Down syndrome experience many of the same challenges as individuals without Down syndrome but may require additional supports to understand and accept the changes that puberty brings.

In this webinar, Hannah Graham, MD, and Katie Frank, PhD, OTR/L, will describe how puberty in people with Down syndrome is similar and different to puberty in people without Down syndrome and share resources to support individuals with Down syndrome during this time of transition.

Date: Tuesday, June 30
Time: 11:30 a.m. CDT
Location: Zoom
