Resources for Families
Like all children, children with Down syndrome are unique individuals who grow and develop at their own pace. As your child progresses through different developmental periods, we encourage you to contact us with any questions. We can show you where to find accurate, up-to-date information about Down syndrome and share resources that we have found helpful. We may be able to put you in contact with another family who has had a similar experience. DSASO also hosts several social events throughout the year. They are a great time to relax, have some fun, and meet other families. We hope to see you there. Below are some links to information that might be of interest.
