Down Syndrome Network AZ

OUR MISSION

Our mission at DSNetwork is to educate, support and advocate for those in our community touched by Down syndrome. DSNetwork achieves this goal through an open, supportive and collaborative network that connects individuals and families with needed resources and information.

OUR VISION

A community that embraces, supports and inspires individuals with Down syndrome to live healthy, self-determined and fulfilling lives.

OUR HISTORY

Over 20 years of service

In January 2002, a group of parents of children with Down syndrome got together to discuss the sometimes confusing situations that arise while raising a child with Down syndrome. From that discussion, the idea was born for a `one-stop information source’ to consolidate the innumerable resources that one must invariably wade through when searching for specialized information and Down Syndrome Network (DSNetwork) was formed.

Testimonial

DS Network has been invaluable to us, providing resources, activities, and a sense of community that we couldn't find elsewhere. They've helped us navigate the educational system, find inclusive activities for Erica, and connected us with other families who share similar experiences. Their support has been a lifeline, especially during transitional phases like Erica entering her senior year. ~ Castaneda Family
