The Down Syndrome Research Foundation was established in 1995 to ensure a brighter future for individuals with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities by increasing their cognitive and social development. Our goals are to provide relevant, reliable and timely information on the latest research and educational programs for people of all ages with Down syndrome. The Foundation is unique in that we bring together in a family friendly environment researchers, scientists, clinicians and families. Under one roof, these groups discuss new advances in neuroscience, brain development, education and health. They work together to create improved methods and instructional techniques for assisting people with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities and their families.
