Touch the Sky

Downs Syndrome (otherwise know as Down Syndrome or Trisomy 21) is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra 21st chromosome (either all or in part), and is named after the British Doctor John Langdon Down, who described the syndrome in 1866. It is associated with some impairment of cognitive ability and physical growth, as well as facial appearance. People with Downs Syndrome may have a reduced cognitive ability, ranging from mild to moderate learning disabilities.

Touch the Sky helps by bringing the appropriate teaching therapist right into the home on an interactive one-to-one basis. Our distance learning support offers the very best therapy in the convenience of your own home.

Touch the Sky teached and works with those who have Downs Syndrome - particularly those who have musical and dance talents.

Touch the Sky is always looking for performing talents to work with projects in music and dance.
