Established in 1984, the Halton Down Syndrome Association is a charity working to empower individuals with Down syndrome to reach their full potential through all stages of life. We are an active, vibrant leader in advocacy, awareness, education and support within the Halton community. To fulfill this mission, HDSA is committed to supporting families through information to help plan for each life stage, and through creation of peer social networks for VIPs and their caregivers. Additionally, HDSA provides information, education and advocacy regarding Down syndrome to service providers and the Halton community at large.
