Registration is now open for the 2026 Down Syndrome Research Forum. This year, the forum will again be hosted online over three days from 16 to 18 March.
The Down Syndrome Research Forum is a regular international event, hosted and sponsored by Down Syndrome Education International for over 30 years. The event attracts researchers, practitioners and family members from around the world to learn about current scientific research, how it can inform better support for young people with Down syndrome.
This year, we again received a record number of submissions and have again scheduled the event over three days to include more presentations than ever before. The presentations will cover a wide range of topics including language development, social skills, exercise and physical fitness, executive function, attention, early babble and communication, reading and literacy, school inclusion, motor development, mathematical abilities and number skills, machine learning and statistical modelling, storytelling and book clubs, and more.
