Tipperary Down Syndrome Association is a parent-led group providing support for families with children with Down Syndrome. Based in Abbey Road, Thurles, the group organises recreational activities, such as hip-hop dancing and yoga, family outings, and social activities for the young people. It also provides professional Speech and Language Therapy services and educational tuition for individual children whose families request it. Other activities have included running a reading programme (with a trained teacher) for children with Down Syndrome in mainstream Primary School settings, and organising a Sibling Support workshop. There are ongoing links with Down Syndrome Ireland to organise talks and for support and advice.
