Pathways to Independence
September 4, 2024
Down Syndrome Australia’s Pathways to Independence Project has just wrapped up. Alongside our state and territory member organisations, we have delivered workshops across Australia to build individual capacity.
As we reflect on the remarkable journey of our project, we are proud to share the impact we have made in supporting people with Down syndrome and their families. The Pathways workshops have been empowering spaces to support independence, growth, and connect family and community.
