We are piloting new communication resources to help people with Down syndrome know more about sleep studies, at home and in hospital.

It’s a great resource for individuals with Down syndrome who would like to know more about sleep studies, and a helpful toolkit for families, researchers, medical practitioners, and anyone else who wants to make sure that clear communication is taking place.
