Regression in Adolescents and Young Adult’s who have Down’s Syndrome

Thursday 26 November 2026 | 10.45am – 12 noon | FREE

Regression is a term used to describe the loss of previously acquired developmental skills in an individual not explained by autism or dementia. It is sometimes referred to as Down’s syndrome regression disorder (DSRD).

This type of regression typically occurs in adolescence/young adulthood and can happen over days, weeks, or months.

Although this regression has been recognised for many years, we are still learning about why this happens to some people.

In this webinar we will talk about what we know so far.

Jack is making a fantastic impression at Nando's! 🌟

Since joining the team in September as a Front of House Nandoca, Jack has been busy welcoming customers, serving food and helping keep the restaurant running smoothly.

And his hard work hasn't gone unnoticed!

Jack has received some wonderful feedback from customers, including one who left a review saying ‘We love Jack’ ❤️ Another was so impressed with his service that they gave him a tip!

His manager has also praised his growing confidence and initiative, something Jack was showing from his very first day.

Keep up the brilliant work, Jack! 💚👏
