A live discussion with the REST-Ed study team, as we speak about their work to understand and overcome the sleep problems that often affect the health and wellbeing of children with Down syndrome and their families. The REST-Ed team are carrying out a new study aimed at improving sleep for children with DS, and will discuss this further during the Facebook Live session.

If you are anywhere in the UK and have a child with DS aged between 6 months and 5 years old, you may be eligible to join this study, which is carried out online/remotely.

You will hear directly from the researchers how this study will be conducted, and you can also find out more about recruitment and how the study works at this link: https://www.dsrf-uk.org/rest-ed-study/
