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.
