Down’s Syndrome Association

The Down's Syndrome Association (DSA) is a UK-based nonprofit organization that supports individuals with Down’s syndrome and their families. By challenging stereotypes, supporting families, and influencing policy, the DSA fosters a more inclusive society where people with Down’s syndrome are valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential. Through advocacy, information, and educational resources, the DSA works to raise awareness, promote inclusion, and ensure equal rights for people with Down’s syndrome. The organization offers programs focused on health, education, and employment to help individuals with Down’s syndrome lead fulfilling lives. Through programs such as WorkFit, the organization offers an effective, scalable, and evidence-based model for successfully supporting people who have Down’s syndrome into sustainable employment opportunities and encouraging them and their families to consider paid work as a realistic and feasible option.
