Welcome!

According to DSACK’s Medical Outreach Survey, the most helpful support along the journey as a new parent is personal contact with DSACK.

Congratulations on the birth or upcoming birth of your baby with Down syndrome. While the news of your child having Down syndrome may have come unexpectedly, your life will be full of many wonderful surprises and experiences. DSACK is here to meet you wherever you are on your journey – to celebrate with you and support you.

DSACK helps connect new and expectant parents of children with Down syndrome the most up-to-date information, resources, and a welcoming community to support you along the way.

There are no fees to join DSACK or participate in our programs and services.

New Parent Dinner

DSACK’s annual New Parent Dinner is for DSACK parents who have a child with Down syndrome younger than 3 years old. DSACK treats new parents to a quaint dinner and opportunity to get to know other parents and DSACK staff. Parents go back to their families refreshed and encouraged by getting to know new friends who may be on a similar journey.
