A member asked:
My grandaughter has lost volume in the front of her brain. she has down syndrome and west syndrome. how will this affect her physical and mental deve?

Misunderstanding?: A question like this is too important, and takes more knowledge of her individuality, for us to be able to answer. Down syndrome brains are shaped slightly differently from the rest of us and almost all of them have less volume in the front, which tends to be squared. Might it be that she has always been like this?
