Mission Statement

The National Association for Down Syndrome supports all persons with Down syndrome in achieving their full potential.

About This Cause

The National Association for Down Syndrome is the oldest organization in the country serving individuals with Down syndrome and their families. It was founded in Chicago in 1961 by parents who chose to go against medical advice and decided to raise their children with Down syndrome at home. In fulfilling our mission, we commit to: 1. Providing families with Down syndrome members with information and resources to enable them to access and evaluate appropriate services. 2. Educate the public about Down syndrome. 3. Address the social policy issues and challenges facing the Down syndrome community. 4. Facilitate and encourage active participation by self advocates and families in the delivery of education, vocational, residential and other services for persons with Down syndrome.
