DID YOU KNOW? NADS offers both

prenatal and postnatal support

to new families with Down syndrome!

As the oldest Down syndrome organization in the country, we are proud to have connections with 46 hospitals in the Chicagoland area!

When NADS is notified that a new baby with Down syndrome is born, we send out our Congratulations Baskets to the family to help them welcome their beautiful new blessing! These baskets include large mirrors for the baby, crochet sets, socks, blankets, tees, and SO much more for a value close to $150 each! NADS also includes a wealth of information about what the family can expect in the years ahead, and even connects the family with a trained parent support mentor, as well as making other connections or referrals in the area and through NADS!

Do you know a family that would benefit from all NADS has to offer?

Anyone can refer a family to NADS!

Do you know a family that would benefit from NADS' Support and Services?

While we pride ourselves on partnering with 46 hospitals in the Chicagoland area, you don't have to work in the medical field to connect a family with NADS!

Family, friends, neighbors - if you know of someone who has or is expecting a child with Down syndrome, we would love to connect with them!

Grow Your NADStrong Community:

Come share your stories, triumphs, and challenges with other parents of babies and toddlers with Down syndrome!

(This group is exclusively for families whose children with Ds range from prenatal to age 4.)

This group is just for the guys! Dads, Grandpas, Uncles, Godfathers...

Join this group for a place

to share successes,

ask questions, or just hang with other men who have a loved one with Down syndrome.

Support our cause with every purchase!

No extra work is required - simply shop all your favorite stores through GoodShop as you normally would and they donate a percentage to NADS!

A simple way to give back!
