Conexión Familiar
with CJ Vallejo
¡Los invitamos cordialmente a nuestra primera Conexión Familiar de 2026!
Nos complace contar nuevamente con la participación de nuestros amigos de KUARDC, quienes nos acompañarán para ofrecer una presentación sobre nutrición. Nuestro Coordinador de Fitness y Nutrición, Scott Quaife, ha preparado una presentación enfocada en la importancia de una nutrición adecuada para las personas con síndrome de Down. El equipo de KUARDC, Jaime Perales Puchal y Kelly Loeb, se encargará de traducir y presentar esta información.
Este evento se llevará a cabo más adelante en 2026, por lo que les recomendamos registrarse para recibir recordatorios cuando se acerque la fecha. Se ofrecerán refrigerios.
Si tienen alguna pregunta, por favor escriban a CJ al correo electrónico cj@kcdsi.org.
¡Les deseamos un excelente día!
FREE Hearing and Balance Screenings (By Appointment)
available
with CJ Vallejo
On March 25 - March 31, at Down Syndrome Innovations, we are hosting FREE hearing and balance screenings for individuals with Down syndrome who fit this criteria:
- Who are between 5 and 65
- Do NOT wear a cochlear implant
- And are accompanied by a caretaker or loved one
Participants will attend one appointment that includes a game-based hearing and balance test (with immediate results), a simple blood draw, a quick mouth swab, and permission for researchers to access relevant health information.
From there, families will receive the hearing and balance results, and contribute to one of the largest Down syndrome biobank research efforts.This study is open to individuals with or without hearing loss.

To be clear, there are two links: one is to register for a hearing and balance appointment, which includes an HTP blood draw. The second link is to register ONLY to participate in the HTP blood draw.
