Marketing Coordinator 

Throughout the past 30 years, life has improved for people with Down syndrome. Many enjoy an increased lifespan, benefit from early intervention therapies and inclusion in school and community, and daily realize new opportunities of independence.  The last 10 years have seen a significant increase in momentum in Down syndrome research. But many of the community’s medical and therapeutic needs continue to go unmet.

LuMind IDSC envisions a world where every person with Down syndrome thrives with improved health, independence, and opportunities to reach their fullest potential. LuMind IDSC’s small, dynamic team is working across the U.S. to drive further improvements in the lives of people with Down syndrome through accelerated research and the empowerment of individuals and their families.
