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.
You can see all of our program categories here. We also have many additional Family Support Services in addition to these programs. Our Lifelong Learning Model shows many of the programs and services that we offer throughout the lifespan in one quick glance.
