\"Foto<\/a>We are a non profit organisation dealing with people with Down syndrome or related genetic intellectual disability, and their families.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2009<\/strong>, in Viale Volta, Florence, we opened our Centre for the habilitative development of people with Down’s syndrome or similar genetic intellectual disability, recognised by the Region of Tuscany as a healthcare rehabilitation centre with executive decree no. 1653 of 9 April 2010, then subsequently confirmed during the three-year renewal with executive decree no. 3488 of 3 August 2012, unique in the entire region in terms of the completeness of our services and the number of users, who are followed in a comprehensive manner in both the healthcare and assistance spheres from birth to adulthood.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here, we strive to offer parents and their children a comprehensive response, both medical and social, together with support throughout the entire developmental process, from birth to entry into school and the workplace.<\/span><\/p>\n

The experience of similar centres already existing in a number of Italian cities shows that people with Down syndrome or other similar handicaps can be included and integrated into society, provided they are treated correctly from an early age.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n
