News and resources

Down Syndrome Australia and Dementia Australia have produced a new publication: Down Syndrome and Dementia – a Guide for Families, authored by Dr Jennifer Torr of Monash University.

The resource has been developed to inform and empower people supporting a person with Down syndrome to:

  • Understand the links between lifestyle, health and dementia
  • Promote healthy active living
  • Support a person with Down syndrome and dementia
  • Advocate for appropriate services and informed care.

You can find the full guide on their resources page, or you can download it free from this link.
