Down's Syndrome Scotland

We work to help people with Down's syndrome reach their full potential by providing information and support to them, their families, carers and to professionals. Our information and support service, consisting of home visits, web site, e-mail and telephone contact means that people can contact us in whichever way suits them. We don't claim to be able to answer every single question immediately, but we are committed to making sure people get the information they need as soon as possible.

We know that every person with Down's syndrome is a unique individual, full of potential. We support families and carers of people with Down's syndrome at whatever age and stage of life.

We work to help people with Down's syndrome reach their full potential by providing information, services and support to them, their families, carers and professionals. Our Family Support Service provides an all through life support nationally across Scotland.
