COVID-19 Updates

We all need to help contain the spread and protect those at increased risk. At this time, we are working virtually, remaining vigilant and active. Our DSAT phone line and all of our social media continue to be active  In the community, we are postponing Buddy Walk, our main fundraiser, from May 9th to September 5th.

We are working to move our programs to virtual platform wherever possible.

COVID-19 Hospital Transfer Form

The COVID-19 Hospital Transfer Form is designed for family and other caregivers of adults with Down syndrome. In the event of a hospital admission for COVID-19, this form communicates essential information to hospital staff, including medical information, substitute decision-maker contacts and information about support needs. It promotes the accommodation of a person’s unique communication and behavioural support needs in health care. It is recommended to prepare this form in advance of a COVID-19 emergency and have it available upon a transfer to the hospital.
