Virginia Down Syndrome Association

Virginia Down Syndrome association is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that benefits the lives of individuals with Down Syndrome (ds) and their families through individual and family support, education, community awareness, and advocacy. We advocate for awareness and understanding by educating our community about ds and offering education programs to help our members navigate the lifespan from early childhood through the school years, transition, and into adulthood. We provide individual support to families to access resources, medical care, and social support for individuals with Down Syndrome and their entire family. We believe individuals with Down Syndrome are valuable members of our community and in whom all things are possible. With full opportunities and community, individuals with ds will achieve great things. We boast a membership of hundreds of families, a community within our community that celebrates and embraces raising children with Down Syndrome. We listen, we learn
