Health Visitors: How PADS supports families – Down Syndrome UK Webinar for Professionals
April 2024

The aim of this session is to help Health Visitors understand what PADS provides for them as professionals and for the families they work with.

We will look at the use of language, why we prefer person-first language, and at best practices to support parents of a baby or child with Down syndrome.

We will share with you a range of resources relating to babies and children with Down syndrome which we hope you will find helpful. These will include breastfeeding, baby-led weaning, constipation, toilet training, introducing signing and much more.
