Summary

This study explores whether short video clips recorded by parents on their smartphones can help identify children with Down syndrome who are at high risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). About 141 children will participate. Parents will record their child sleeping and then guess if OSA is present. Those results will be compared to a formal sleep study to see if home videos are a reliable screening tool.
