Welcome to the Down Syndrome Association of Northwest Indiana

The Down Syndrome Association of Northwest Indiana, which was founded over 25 years ago, serves families of both children and adults with Down Syndrome. Our volunteers provide support, information and services to children with Down syndrome and their families. Thanks to the generosity of those in the community, we have been able to distribute, free of charge, accurate and encouraging information to families experiencing the birth of a child with Down syndrome including personal contact with another parent who has been trained to offer support. Check out these Helpful Links.

OUR GOALS

• Striving to help persons with Down Syndrome achieve their full potential.
• To encourage and support parents adjusting to the birth of a child with Down Syndrome.
• To serve as a resource center for gathering and distributing accurate information regarding Down Syndrome.
• To increase public awareness of Down syndrome and to encourage social experiences within the state.
