Mission Statement
Our Mission: Provide lifelong services and support to children and adults with Down syndrome and their families in South Texas in order to optimize well-being, develop rewarding relationships, and foster inclusion in the community. The DSASTX provides opportunities for families to foster friendships and offer mutual support through Parent Information Meetings, community-based social activities, special events, and educational programs. Our purpose is to empower and support individuals with Down syndrome and their families to access resources, engage with their community, and progress toward self-actualization.
About This Cause
In 1994, a group of concerned parents raising children with Down syndrome reached out to one another for support. They started meeting in their living rooms to exchange resources, share stories and build relationships, in hopes to provide a better future for their children. These relationships and connections have become an integral part of the organization values in order to provide encouragement and support for people with Down syndrome and their families. Over the past 30 years, the DSASTX has expanded from a home-based support group for parents to an organization that provides opportunities for families to foster friendships and mutual support through informational workshops and conferences, community-based social activities, special events, and educational programs.
