UK and Europe Down Syndrome Research Forum 2013
The Down Syndrome Research Forum is a regular event, sponsored by Down Syndrome Education International, at which researchers active in areas related to Down syndrome can meet, share ideas and discuss recent findings.
The UK and Europe Down Syndrome Research Forum 2013 will be held at the University of Bristol on 17 and 18 September 2013. The Forum offers a regular opportunity to share work in progress and seek support and advice from others working or interested in Down syndrome research. Researchers and postgraduate students from throughout the UK and Europe are invited to attend.
Presentations are accepted on a variety of topics - for example, attention, speech-motor development, sleep, behaviour, early reading development, school reading interventions, memory training, language development, autism, early family communication, and more.

“The results of this study will help better fit the pieces of the Alzheimer’s puzzle together,” said Tim Armour, president and CEO of the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund. Down syndrome is caused by chromosome 21 trisomy, which contains genes involved in Alzheimer’s disease, such as amyloid precursor protein (APP).

Looking into Language: A Study of How Medical Students View Disability
Rachel Cohen-Rottenberg, Disability and Representation, 26th July 2012
In the paper “What does ‘disability’ mean for medical students? An exploration of the words medical students associate with the term ‘disability,’” Margaret Byron and her colleagues discuss a study they carried out to assess the concepts, descriptors, and images that medical students associate with disability.
