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!

Create Awareness and Promote Acceptance!

Share the joy of Ds with those around you!

NADS offers informative presentations at workplaces and schools alike to spread our message of awareness, acceptance, and inclusion for individuals with Down syndrome.
