With the right support, people with Down syndrome can lead fulfilling, independent lives — and early intervention makes a significant difference in outcomes.

Essential NDIS supports for Down syndrome include early intervention therapies (speech pathology, occupational therapy, physiotherapy), support workers for daily living and community participation, psychology for social and emotional development, support coordination, and assistive technology. Many people with Down syndrome benefit from supported employment services.
