Affiliates

Currently, PSDM has 12 affiliate members, which are state-level Down Syndrome Associations (PSD) in Perlis, Kedah, Penang, Perak, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka, Johor, Terengganu, Kelantan, Sarawak, and Sabah. PSDM is still in exploratory talks with a few parents in Pahang to assist them in establishing a PSD in their state.

PSDM adopts an open approach and accepts other organisations or special education centres/nurseries (OKU or typical) or PPDKs (Community-Based Rehabilitation Centres) as affiliates if they provide Early Intervention services or Vocational/Skills Training specifically for students and teenagers with Down Syndrome (DS). Currently, PSDM has two affiliate members from other organisations in Kelantan and Terengganu. PSDM supports all affiliate members by sharing knowledge, especially on early intervention, education, and vocational/skills training for students with DS.
