Welcome to Milestones, a podcast featuring research and insights into child health and human development. I am your host, Meredith Carlson Daly. October marks Down Syndrome Awareness Month, a chance to celebrate the abilities and accomplishments of people with Down syndrome. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 6,000 babies each year are born with Down syndrome in the United States. It is the most common genetic cause of mild to moderate intellectual disability.
