Offering a wide range of services, from education and sports to therapy and vocational training, DOSD Meram celebrated its third anniversary at a press conference.
The Meram Down Syndrome Life Support Center, DOSD Meram, which aims to help individuals with Down syndrome participate more confidently and independently in every aspect of life, from education and sports to social activities and professional life, has completed its third year.
Meram Mayor Mustafa Kavuş spoke about the establishment of DOSD Meram and the progress it has made. Emphasizing that the center had opened a new chapter for individuals with Down syndrome and their families, Kavuş highlighted the significance of the progress achieved over the past three years.
Noting that DOSD Meram had grown from an initial group of 21 students into a family of more than 220 students, Kavuş said: “The expansion of educational and therapeutic services, along with the introduction of new opportunities in sports and vocational training, reflects the center’s growth. DOSD Meram’s commitment to supporting not only individuals but also their families shows how the core goals behind its establishment have evolved into a much broader support system over time. What began as a vision has thus become a tangible life-support model in just three years. We are three years old, but we have 13 years of experience.”
