Membership is available for families, individuals or organizations. Membership can be registered throughout the year and runs from January to December. 


The annual Membership fee is $40


Your 2023 EDSS membership includes:

  •  Access to Manager of Family Services (MFS), to help families navigate the disability system and provide support to parents in accessing programs and services for their children throughout their journey. 
  • Access to networking opportunities for families, peer-to-peer support, Visiting Parents Team, learning sessions with guest speakers, weekly newsletters, family-orientated social events... and more!
  • Access to extensive resources/information specific to Down syndrome available from our resource lending library and our MFS.
  • Access to in-service learning (schools, daycares) about what Ds is, possible medical concerns, how Ds could affect them in the classroom and tips and tools to support positive behavior. 


*If your EDSS membership is for a person born with Ds they will have access to programs such as: Subsidized speech therapy, Occupational Therapy, Behaviour therapy, Physiotherapy, and Musical Theatre and in our new Joey Moss Literacy Centre for Excellence, we run literacy and numeracy programs, vocational skills, and independent living programs for adults 16+. There are also social programs, drop in baby-toddler group and activity groups for all ages.


EDSS programs are only for members born with Ds.
