Growth charts were published in October 2015 to track key health metrics like head circumference for girls with Down syndrome from birth to 36 months. The charts were created based on data published in the journal Pediatrics, which established percentiles to monitor growth for children with Down syndrome in the United States. The charts allow caregivers and medical professionals to compare a child's development to peers and identify potential issues.
