⚡ Weather update: With a very high risk of thunderstorms in our area today, we've made the difficult decision to cancel this afternoon's family picnic.

This wasn't an easy call, but the safety of our families and volunteers always comes first. 💙

We're so sorry for the disappointment — and we can't wait to bring everyone together soon. Stay tuned for updates!

Our mission, renewed. 💙💛

The LDSA, in collaboration with community partners, provides compassionate support services, resources, and social opportunities to all individuals and families living with Down syndrome in London & surrounding counties.

This is the work we show up for every day — connecting families to the resources they need, creating spaces to gather and belong, and walking alongside our community across Middlesex, Elgin, Huron, Perth, and Oxford Counties.

None of it happens alone. To our partners, volunteers, and supporters: thank you for making this mission real.

07/26/2026

We're proud to share the LDSA's renewed vision. 💙💛

"A trusted home where individuals with Down syndrome, their families, and community partners find connection, support, and belonging at every stage of life."

This vision reflects who we've always strived to be — and where we're headed. Whether it's a family picnic in the park, a youth group outing, or a quiet conversation when someone needs it most, our commitment stays the same: everyone belongs here, at every stage of life.

Thank you to the families, volunteers, donors, and partners who make this community what it is. We can't wait to keep building it with you.

While processing spoken language can sometimes take a little extra time, visual cues (like pictures, gestures, demonstrations, and written schedules) can make a massive difference in helping someone learn a new skill at school or on the job!

📣 Reminder: All Abilities is this Saturday, 12:30–3:00 PM!

Please arrive by 2:00 PM so you don't miss out. See you there! 😊

Did you know..

Many individuals with Down syndrome have a natural affinity for rhythm and music. Singing, dancing, and playing instruments aren't just fun - they help strengthen oral-motor muscles, improve memory, and provide a wonderful outlet for self-expression!
