KDSP has developed affiliations with several organisations in order to share learning opportunities, experiences and professional expertise.
We are eager to partner with and work hand in hand with other organizations and institutions that are aligned with our vision of promoting an inclusive society for people with Down syndrome. If you are a healthcare provider, medical professional, a clinic or hospital, a non-profit organization, therapist, educator, teacher, performing arts instructor, or somebody with any sort of skill who relates to our mission and vision, we would love to hear from you and work together towards having an inclusive society for all!

KDSP collaborated with AKUH in 2017 to introduce a one-stop health solution to facilitate children with Down syndrome and their parents.

With the launch of Down Syndrome Clinic at AKUH, this issue was streamlined and parents are now able to bring their children to see different specialists in one clinic.
