Advocacy
Our Mission
DSL promotes awareness, acceptance, and inclusion of those with Down syndrome.
Our advocacy work focuses on families in Kentucky & Indiana, however, we are strong supporters of the national advocacy groups as well.
We want to be sure that every individual with DS is awarded the rights they deserve.
Ways We Advocate:
- Self-Advocacy
- Legislative Advocacy
- Community Advocacy
- Healthcare Advocacy
- COVID-19 Vaccine Advocacy
- Educational/School Advocacy
Request A Speaker
DSL’s executive director, Julie Torzewski, as well as many others on the DSL Leadership Team, are available to speak on a variety of advocacy, education, and Down syndrome-related topics. Self-advocates with Down syndrome can also be requested to speak to your group or at an event.
