Down’s Syndrome Scotland (DSS) is a parent led charity which was established in 1982. We are the only charity in Scotland dedicated solely to supporting people with Down’s syndrome (Ds) and their carers. Down’s Syndrome Scotland provides “all through life” support nationally across Scotland. We know that every person with Down’s syndrome is a unique individual, full of potential. We work to help people with Down’s syndrome reach their full potential by providing information and support to them, their families, carers and professionals at whatever age and stage of life. We also work to influence government policy to ensure that the society in which we all live reflects the needs of people with Down’s syndrome.
