Down's Syndrome Association

We are a national organisation, committed to improving quality of life for people with Down’s syndrome, promoting their right to be included on a full and equal basis with others.

Children and adults with Down’s syndrome are all unique individuals with their own personalities, family backgrounds and preferences that make them who they are.

Here you will find answers to questions that we are often asked about Down’s syndrome. This information will help you to separate the facts from some common misconceptions. If you do not find what you are looking for ring our helpline and speak to one of our specialist advisors.
