DSi member organisations

Our network includes national Down syndrome organisations who represent their country at DSi. Many of these national organisations are also members of world regional networks, with whom we maintain strong relationships.

We encourage other Down syndrome or disability advocacy groups and those who focus on specific issues like healthcare, education, employment or other service provision, to apply to join DSi as affiliate members.
