Supporting people with Down Syndrome
and their families in Oxfordshire
Welcome to Down Syndrome Oxfordshire, a charity organised and funded by volunteer parents and supporters to provide information, support and activities for children and adults with Down Syndrome and their families living in Oxfordshire.
Welcome to our new brand!
We are delighted to announce Down Syndrome Oxfordshire is now live. It’s time to celebrate the launch of our new name together!
Here's what we do
Oxford United Tri-Stars
DSO and Oxford United Walking Football Club with support from DSActive organise football training exclusively for people with Down’s Syndrome.
Elliot's Shed | Sharing equipment for our children
Elliot's Shed is a DSO initiative that has been made possible by the incredible fundraising of Kat and Seth Cornfield, parents of Elliot who sadly passed away in 2015, aged 2, after a long battle with cancer. Elliot's shed is a means of sharing equipment that is often expensive to buy for our children.
DSO Singing and Signing Choir | For children and adults, plus their siblings and parents
Singing popular and crowd pleasing songs, the DSO Singing and Signing Choir has become a hugely popular activity for DSO families as we raise awareness and show off the ability our inspiring young people.
Early Development Groups | For pre-school children
Down Syndrome Oxfordshire offers an Early Development Group for you and your child during term times, free of charge. We limit each group to four, to allow the children to observe and turn-take whilst still holding their attention. They are offered to all pre-school children after their 1st birthday, depending on availability.
Primary Development Sessions | Once your child is at school
Our Primary Development Sessions are aimed at primary aged children, from Foundation stage to Year 6. The sessions focus on the targets that have been set by the SENSS and SaLT teams for each individual child. The sessions are held in blocks of four 45-minute one-to-one visits at your child’s primary school. They are run by Helen Simpson, specialist advisory teacher. Helen runs these sessions one day a week in term time. The sessions are funded by Down Syndrome Oxfordshire.
