Welcome to Heart & Halo Talent
DSALA is contacted with opportunities in the entertainment industry for individuals with Down syndrome. This program provides the information and resources to register individuals with Down syndrome as talent so that we have the referrals when we get a casing call for talent with Down syndrome or other developmental disabilities.
We don’t get a lot of calls, but when we do if we don’t have the talent ready the producers might go with something else and we will miss the opportunity to have someone with Down syndrome or other developmental disability in the public eye.
The following information is available to download:

Return the following to Heart & Halo Talent:
- Completed Talent Application/Consent
- 5 to 10 headshots and resumes
- A photo copy of work permit if California minor (keep original)
- $20 one time registration fee
- A 4 x 6 snapshot is just fine, but make sure you have taken the photo of the talent from above the waist and have them look directly into the camera. Put together any information you have for the resume. If you are not comfortable using the example to create it, give us a call and we can assist you. You will also notice that we are asking for a one time registration fee of $20 so that we will be able to continue offering this service.
