We would like to welcome you to the website of Down Syndrome Ireland Louth Meath Branch.
Down Syndrome Ireland LouthMeath Branch provides support and information to over 350 families with a family member with Down syndrome in the counties of Louth & Meath. Down Syndrome Ireland LouthMeath Branch is run on a voluntary basis by parents of children with Down syndrome with the aid of a part time Administrator. DS Louth / Meath believes in supporting families to ensure the best quality of life possible for our members with Down syndrome. We work together, united in our aim to achieve respect, acceptance and equality within society for our members with Down syndrome.
The aim of the Louth/Meath Branch of Down Syndrome Ireland is to support people with Down syndrome and their families in the counties of Louth and Meath.
Dr Dennis McGuire returns to Ireland this September to host a series of events with Down Syndrome Ireland in Sligo and Limerick for both families and professionals.
• Families Learning Together: Supporting Adolescents and Adults with Down Syndrome – Sept 25th and 30th
This interactive workshop is suitable for parents and guardians of individuals aged 15 years and over, and will focus on the transition to adulthood and the unique social, emotional and practical challenges that arise during the teenage and adult years.
• Professional Development Day: Supporting Adolescents and Adults with Down Syndrome – Sept 24th and 29th
This practical professional development workshop is suitable for those supporting adolescents and adults with Down syndrome across disability, health, education and community settings. It will help participants better understand the emotional, behavioural and cognitive profile associated with Down syndrome and provide practical approaches that can be applied immediately.
