Rutgers OTD Program

In honor of Down Syndrome Awareness Month, we’re proud to share moments from our Rutgers OTD students’ involvement with Club DREAMS, an enrichment center dedicated to empowering individuals with Down syndrome. Through a variety of inclusive programs, like yoga, art, cooking, and job skills training, Club DREAMS fosters a supportive environment for socialization, learning, and personal growth. From the excitement of “DREAMS After Dark” social events to the creativity of art and dance sessions, our students are fortunate to work alongside this incredible community, helping individuals with Down syndrome thrive in a space built on inclusion, support, and fun. Happy Down Syndrome Awareness Month! 💙💛

And just like that our first years become second years! Congratulations to our RU OTD class of 2026 for completing their first year of the program.
