Down Syndrome Ireland’s Limerick branch is a community of like-minded people whose primary focus is to build better lives and create better futures for our family members with Down syndrome.
While this is a charity, it is very much family centred, and family led. It is through the commitment and dedication of our families and ongoing fundraising that we are able to provide early intervention services including Speech & Language, Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy, Learn to cycle and Swim programmes, Youth focused groups for our teenagers, Education and Life skills programmes for our adults and ongoing therapies for all age groups.
There is a key focus within all our groups on social functioning, emotional wellbeing and developing friendships. Parents and family members equally benefit from training events, social gatherings and peer support.
We want to create a world where our family members with Down syndrome can participate, develop, thrive and impact the world in which we live.
