Down Syndrome in Practice - practical and informative films for parents and professionals caring for individuals with Down syndrome

The Down Syndrome in Practice range of films offer expert information and demonstrate practical activities to promote the development and education of children with Down syndrome.

They are based on the latest research evidence and the charity's extensive hands-on experience working with children with Down syndrome for nearly three decades.

The films are designed to be helpful for families and for education and health professionals supporting children with Down syndrome.

About our videos

Since the charity's first research project in the early 1980s, we have produced a series of well-received videos to share the practical findings of our research in the UK and around the world.

In 2006, we launched Down Syndrome in Practice, a new range of practical and informative films for parents and professionals. They are published by the charity's subsidiary company DownsEd Enterprises.

Down Syndrome in Practice

The Down Syndrome in Practice series currently includes the following films:

Other titles in the Down Syndrome in Practice series are planned, subject to securing sufficient funding:
