Down Syndrome Awareness

People with Down syndrome have individual strengths, interests and support needs. Build awareness that helps your team move beyond generalisations, communicate accessibly and offer opportunities for choice, learning and meaningful participation in the routines and relationships of daily life.

Explore how staff can adapt support while recognising what a person already does well and what matters to them. Practical discussion considers communication preferences, inclusive environments and partnership with the person, their family and relevant professionals when planning or reviewing support.
