Forte Speech & Language Therapy, a team of speech therapists in Los Angeles, is pleased to announce the release of a comprehensive new guide designed to support individuals with Down syndrome and their families in the LA area.
The guide aims to connect families with vital services, programs, and community resources that enhance the lives of those with Down syndrome.
Down syndrome is a genetic condition that affects approximately 1 in 700 births. It presents unique challenges and opportunities for individuals and their families. In Los Angeles, a diverse city rich in resources, navigating the landscape of support can be overwhelming. Forte Speech & Language Therapy recognizes this challenge and is committed to making essential information accessible to all families in need.
The guide provides a curated list of resources, including educational programs, speech and language therapy options, recreational activities, advocacy groups, and health services.
"We believe that every individual with Down syndrome deserves access to the support they need to thrive," said a spokesperson from the clinic. "Our guide aims to empower families by providing them with the knowledge and connections they need to navigate the available resources in Los Angeles effectively."
The guide is broken into two different sections.
The first section addresses the support needs of families of children with Down syndrome. This includes healthcare guidelines, research, and access to support groups.
"Most parents wouldn’t have had any experience with Down syndrome before their child was born," said a spokesperson from the clinic. "So it’s important for parents to have a space where they can get their questions about Down syndrome answered, without fear of judgment."

From there, the guide covers various support and services available for kids with Down syndrome in Greater Los Angeles, including information on several different groups run by the DSALA (Down Syndrome Association of Los Angeles) and Forte Speech & Language's own online speech therapy services for children.
The guide is available for free on Forte Speech & Language Therapy's website, where families can easily access additional information about the clinic's services.
Forte Speech & Language Therapy offers speech-language pathology services for children with Down syndrome, as well as adult speech therapy. Those interested are encouraged to visit the clinic's website at https://www.fortespeech.com.
