Down Syndrome: Health Issues - Medical Essays and Information  By Len Leshin, M.D., F.A.A.P. Author's note: I'm a pediatrician and the father of Avi, 11 years old, and Nathan, 13 years old.  Avi has Down Syndrome ("DS" for short) and has inspired me to write these essays about children with DS for other parents. I have put them here for general reading.  I have also included some other pediatric items of interest for parents.
