In 2020, the global research study Mindsets began seeking the answer to a really simple yet important question that no one had ever asked, can physical activity benefit cognitive processing for an individual with Down syndrome?

After hundreds of research hours and over 80 participants around the world, the Canadian Down Syndrome Society and Dr. Dan Gordon of Anglia Ruskin University are excited to announce the key findings. This research is a missing piece of the puzzle for the Down syndrome community. The data collected will play a vital role in guiding our future Mindsets wellness program and improving the quality of life for people with Down syndrome throughout adulthood and aging.
