Traystman understands the challenges faced by the families of and individuals with Down syndrome. “Great strides have been made in understanding the mechanism of Down syndrome and we have learned much over the past years. The Global Down Syndrome Foundation and the Linda Crnic Down Syndrome Institute continue to need financial resources to support research, help eradicate the medical and cognitive ill effects of Down syndrome, and find ways for people with Down to integrate into our society and perform at their highest level possible. With additional resources and continued research, the future for both children with Down syndrome and their parents, is bright.”
