DSii Education series - translations

We have been working with other Down syndrome organisations around the world to translate the DSii Education series.

A selection of books in Spanish and Norwegian are now available.

Designed for an international audience

We have designed the Down Syndrome Issues and Information materials to be as helpful as possible for an international audience.

The Down Syndrome Issues and Information - Education series aims to provide information that can be adapted and translated to local situations for use around the world. Work on translations and adaptations started in 2001, in partnership with Down syndrome organisations around the world.
