ABOUT ISDI

ISDI (Indonesia Down Syndrome Society) was established on April 21, 1999. It is a non-profit group composed of parents, medical professionals, special education experts, teachers, and supporters. As parents, we are deeply concerned about the future of our children with Down syndrome in Indonesia, especially given the lack of adequate support from the government or other sectors.

We strive for a better future by sharing experiences and providing mutual support through regular meetings, an approach that has proven both educational for us and beneficial for our children.
