We wanted to hear from people with Down syndrome and their families about the issues that matter to them and what their experiences are with NDIS, education, health care, employment, and the community. We had an overwhelming response as more than 800 people completed the survey to share their views. This article is a snapshot of some of the feedback we received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr Ellen Skladzien<\/strong> is the CEO of Down Syndrome Australia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>\u201cThe information gathered through the survey has been incredibly valuable.
