Down Syndrome Acceptance 16 of 21: Connections

As parents of children with Down syndrome, the connections we make in the Down syndrome community are priceless. We hope you have a network of other parents with whom you’ve connected.

In central Indiana, both GiGi’s Indy and Down Syndrome Indiana can serve as valuable resources. NDSS provides a list of local affiliates here.

Facebook groups can be a great means of connection for a number of groups and topics within the Down syndrome community. The International Down Syndrome Coalition lists a large number of these groups for online support, ranging from siblings to educators to adoptive families.
