Parent Resources and Agency Links
It is vital that people with Down syndrome and their families have access to resources from the community that can support and empower them. We have compiled a list of resources and agencies that we hope can help families investigate services that are meaningful to them. Please explore our Family Resource Guide and the agency links below for more information. UPDATE: The Family Resource Guide has also been updated to include a list of COVID-19 specific resources.
