The day-to-day realities of living with a disability can be expensive - $6 a day is not enough. #CDB

We absolutely agree. Canadians with disabilities deserve adequate support.

What do you think of the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit budget of $6.00 per day?

We are honoured to have #AssumeThatICan internationally recognized with an Andy Award! Congratulations to Madison Tevlin, CoorDown, and everyone who worked with us to change the narrative this World Down Syndrome Day.

For adults with Down syndrome, how much does it cost to live? Will future caregivers be out of pocket?

CDSS is extremely disappointed over the inadequate funding allocated to the Canada Disability Benefit in Budget 2024. The announced funding falls far short of what is necessary

A great opportunity for self-advocates and caregivers to take part in a study about brain health in aging adults with intellectual disabilities.

As we get ready to Step Beyond Stereotypes for the Down Syndrome Walk in June, we're reminiscing about last year's event.
