A place for young children with Down Syndrome to thrive and grow
The Down syndrome Centre Cork provides vital intervention services to young children with Down syndrome and their families such as Occupational therapy (OT), Speech and language therapy (SLT), Physiotherapy, Counseling, Play Therapy, early intervention groups, parent and baby classes and sibling support. We also run numerous networking events for children and their parents.
We need your help to reach these goals. As a registered charity we do not receive any government funding so rely solely on the generosity of the public through donations and fundraisers.
