The Down Syndrome Clinic at The Children's Hospital of
Alabama provides an array of evaluations and services, as
well as referrals for services. Evaluation services include
developmental pediatric assessment, developmental screening
by a team consisting of a physical therapist, occupational
therapist and a speech and language therapist. Further
evaluations include nutrition, hearing and vision testing,
laboratory tests and radiology services. Services provided
include genetic services, ophthalmology, gastroenterology,
orthopedics, otolaryngology, dental, neurology, social
services and psychiatry (including behavioral
interventions). Unique to this clinic is the parent
representative, who participates in each clinic session and
provides emotional and practical help to each family. The
Down Syndrome Clinic enjoys a close relationship with the
UAP through the Civitan International Research Center/Sparks
Clinics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham that
provide additional developmental services for families that
may include referral to support and advocacy groups,
community resources and support to schools.
