Virtual DSL
As the leading provider of support, education, and advocacy for individuals with Down syndrome in the Kentuckiana area, Down Syndrome of Louisville was tasked with finding a way to support our members and their families from afar during the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of the accessibility, this created for so many we are excited to permanently offer virtual programs. See below for LIVE and RECORDED programs.
