Check with Shaffalah and the Learning Centre as noted above, but you may not find the same type of programs you are accustomed to in North America - not saying they're bad or anything, but different.
Conditions like Down's Syndrome exist here as they do everywhere in the world - however, often children are not seen - what I mean is, they're often kept at home, where they will be safe but exposure to the outside world is limited.
Not all parents do this of course, but whereas in North America I'm never surprised to see someone with a disability (whether physical, mental, or congenital) at the mall or the grocery store or the movies - it's unusual enough here for me to "notice" them on a conscious level.
This is merely an FYI in terms of adjusting to the local "culture" on this issue, another point is that many people from the subcontinent "stare" at people and things they consider to be different (hey, I'm one of them when I go out for a walk with the dog, I try to look at it as I'm a form of entertainment - half of the dog and pony show so to speak)it can be disconcerting especially when you first arrive.
I'm sure you and your family would be able to get along fine and I hope the programs on offer at these organizations will be useful.
