We are proud to announce our new membership of Global Alliance for Care / Alianza Global por los Cuidados. This membership will help us advocate for a human rights approach for care providers and receivers.

Can you help? We have been asked for resources to support children with Down syndrome who are also deaf. Can anyone recommend a resource that you have found helpful? Here is a story about Griffin who lives in the United Kingdom. Mum Clarissa says, "My advice to other parents is to do what feels good and what will work for you. But if you give your child the option, you might find that the communication route you want them to take, might not be the route that’s best for them." https://lnkd.in/ejaiZamY

Today, we are proud to support Clare’s Day. Thanks to the Clare Milne Trust, we were able to hire someone with Down syndrome to work in our Exmouth, Devon office. We wouldn't have Emma, our Inclusion and Advocacy Officer, without Clare's legacy. Thank you, Clare. #ClaresDay

We have had a fantastic week at the World Down Syndrome Congress in Brisbane. The Congress is a chance like no other to connect with people with Down syndrome and their families from around the globe. We have heard from self-advocates about their life experiences. We have heard from professionals about the latest research and best practices. And there has been plenty of music and dancing too! We are delighted to announce that the next World Down Syndrome Congress will take place in Buenos Aires, Argentina in May 2027. We would love to see you there.
