Family Voices

Children with Disability Australia (CDA) is a newly launched national organisation (based in Melbourne) focusing on systemic advocacy for children with disabilities and their families, at the Federal level.  Many of the issues that CDA will address will be highly relevant for families of children with Down syndrome.

The CDA website is still under development, but they have published the first issue of their online magazine, Family Voices, that can be viewed on the website's home page. The first feature article is "Celebrating Sam", written by Deb Jeffris, about her son who has Down syndrome - Sam and his sister are also on the cover.

CDA membership is free for children with a disability and their families.
