About plus15 campaign to fund Down syndrome research
The life expectancy of an individual who has Down syndrome has more than doubled over the past two decades.
Unfortunately, their cognitive abilities haven’t improved at a similar pace.
It is imperative to make it possible for people with Down syndrome to not only live longer lives, but to live more independent lives.
The plus15 campaign funds research at major research centers, including Johns Hopkins Medical Center, Stanford University, University of San Diego, and University of Arizona, into how to improve the memory, learning, and speech of people with Down syndrome.
Research scientists working on these improvements tell us they are within reach.
