If you have any doubts that need clarification concerning your child suffering from trisomy 21 and have decided to look for support beyond your pediatrician of choice, all you have to do is call us and we will do our best to meet your needs.

You can likewise call us if you are an adult suffering from Down syndrome who has health issues and is looking for an opinion other than the one of your doctor of choice.

Unfortunately, we do not know who you are or where you are and, therefore, it is you who must get in touch with us.

In order to call us, you don’t necessarily need to be associated, so feel free to get in touch with us according to your needs (please do so within reasonable hours).

The simplest way of getting in touch with us is by calling +41 77 496.73.47. A physician will reply or, if someone else does, he or she will have a physician call you back.

If calling makes you feel too exposed, you can send us an email by using our website’s Contact us function (move on to the Medical support function).

If you don’t wish to use either the telephone or email, you can always access our Forum and see if there are any postings that resemble yours and that may help you get clear on your personal issues.

The subjects on our Forum are not many at present because we have just initiated our activities, but you can enter a subject yourself and a moderator will evaluate it and decide whether or not to authorize its publication.

 If you want to post something without exposing yourself, send your message using the Contact us function on our website’s main menu, moving on to the Medical support function, specifying that you wish to remain anonymous and your message will be published by our administrators.

This is the medical support we are able to provide at present, but we intend to open an office specializing in the medical aspects (pediatric or otherwise) that concern persons who suffer from Down syndrome.

We should like to take the liberty of submitting to your attention the articles and the radio/television programs that deal with the schooling of Special Children, among them those who suffer from trisomy 21 or Down syndrome (the material has been sorted out so as to avoid false alarms and groundless hopes).

Some of the following links might not open inasmuch as their respective pages may have been removed or their respective servers may no longer be operative; in such instances, we ask you to kindly let us know so that we can keep our website neat and efficient (use the main menu’s Contact us function and go to the Technical support submenu).

Thank you for your collaboration.

This program aired on 26 February 2015on Rete Tre as part of Baobab Ora Buca. You will find the segment featuring DECS director Emanuele Berger (which concerns the admission of special children to normal schools) at 13.38.

It is not clear when the experiments kick/kicked off, given the fact that Mr Berger mentions 2016 as the starting point and said year is part of both the 2015-2016 and the 2016-2017 school years; moreover, the reference to the inclusion of all special children in normal schools around the year 2020 is rather vague since 2025 is not distant from 2020. Here is the link to the program:

26.02.2015 - Inclusione: la diversità come ricchezza (minuto 13:38) (Inclusion: Diversity as richness)

02.2014- Il viaggio verso l'inclusione (The journey towards inclusion)

02.2014 - Dall'integrazione scolastica alla scuola inclusiva (From school integration to the inclusive school)

02.2014 - Il modello Inclusivo tra passato e futuro. (The inclusive model, past and future)
