In January 2002, a group of parents of children with Down syndrome (DS) got together to discuss the sometimes confusing and frustrating situation that arise while raising a child with DS. 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. |  |
| Mission: DSNetwork will educate, support and advocate for those in our community impacted by Down Syndrome. DSNetwork will achieve this goal through an open, supportive and collaborative network that will connect individuals and families with needed resources and information. |
Objectives:
- To provide information to assist people with DS and their families to better understand and arrange for services.
- To provide networking opportunities for people with DS and their families.
- To promote greater public understanding of people with DS and the syndrome itself.
- To effect change in policies and behavior to improve services, education, employment and overall quality of life for people with DS and their families.
Please feel free to check out DSNetwork at their website, http://dsnetworkaz.wordpress.com, and see of the great things they are getting done.
