Down Syndrome Family Network

The Down Syndrome Family Network is committed to being the leading human rights organization in Trinidad and Tobago and the Caribbean for all individuals with Down Syndrome. Our mission is to be the national advocate for the value, acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome through research, information and support. We are working to provide a network in which parents or caregivers of persons with Down Syndrome are able to access the resources, support and answers they need to educate and develop the full potential of these individuals throughout their lives. It is our goal to collaborate with all organisations/associations to ensure that parents and caregivers are equipped with the necessary tools needed to effectively support them to a life of independence. Persons with Down Syndrome need, not only to live as normal a life as possible, but to be valued members of their community and entitled to their rights as a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago.
