People with Down syndrome are born into families everywhere. In many countries,
many aspects of life for many people with Down syndrome have improved in recent
decades. However, for many others this has not happened.
The Down Syndrome Educational Trust is committed to helping people with Down syndrome
everywhere.
To help in meeting this commitment, the Trust offers comprehensive and freely accessible
information and advice online. The Trust also offers products and services at reduced
rates to individuals and organisations experiencing financial hardship, and particularly
those in less economically developed countries.
Open Access
The Trusts new Open Access initiative will ensure that the latest and most reliable
information about Down syndrome is available to anybody, anywhere.
