At DSUK, we ask families to contribute towards the subsidised cost of many of our services. We would never want a family not to be able to access services, so don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if needed.
We know how much it matters to have reliable, practical information when you need it and we believe every family should be able to access it, whatever their circumstances.
That’s why we’re delighted to share that our full library of expert-led webinars is now completely free to watch on YouTube. Previously available as paid on-demand sessions, these recordings are now available to everyone covering everything from choosing a school and developing speech and language, to gut health, hearing, continence, and the immune system.
None of this would be possible without the generous support of our community. If you’d like to help us keep expert information free for every family who needs it, you can make a donation here.
