ABOUT US

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.
