Support better education for young people who have Down syndrome

Down Syndrome Education International's research programmes investigate all aspects of development and education for young people who have Down syndrome.

For nearly 30 years, we have pioneered practical ways to help young people who have Down syndrome to achieve more.

We work with families, teachers and therapists, researchers and support organisations in over 180 countries, helping over 100,000 people with Down syndrome to achieve more every year.

Our continuing work depends on the generous support of donors everywhere.
