 From DIAGNOSIS to DETERMINATION

 

All parents experience a wide range of emotions upon learning their child has Down syndrome. Parents may feel overwhelmed with questions about their child and his or her future. Yet after discovering resources, gaining knowledge, and finding support, all families can come to the same place, a place of joy and love for their child.

 

Families need a place of their own to gain up-to-date information regarding Down syndrome research and advocacy, learn about community resources, and talk to other parents to exchange their stories of the love and the special bond they experience with their child with Down syndrome.

 

Anything is possible. Our children can attend regular schools, recieve diplomas, hold jobs, live independently, vote, attend college, drive cars, date, and get married. People with Down syndrome are independent members of society and we want to help them in their journey by providing support.
