Down Syndrome Education International works to improve education for young people with Down syndrome.
Scientific progress
We work to understanding how developmental processes are different for people with Down syndrome and
how we can best adapt support and education to take account of these differences.
Focused on development and education
We have a track record of pioneering scientific research in all areas of development, including speech,
language, literacy, cognition and memory.
