Down Syndrome NSW delivers a wide range of enriching workshops free to our members through the Inclusion Institute on topics relevant to our Down syndrome community.
Over the last 6 months (January - June 2024), we ran 14 workshops, delivered by local and international experts, covering topics across all life stages, engaging an average of 30 people per workshop. This supports our valuable mission by increasing the skills and knowledge of families, carers, health professionals, schools, educators and the community at large to help our loved ones with Down syndrome thrive.
