DSNetwork

DSNetwork offers an array of programs to serve all age groups from newborns to adults in the DS community. We support new parents with the unexpected news from pre birth and at the time of diagnosis. Club Xtra program allows young children playtime and parents time to share their experiences, and support each other. Tweens and Teens UP offer community based opportunities and activities to socialize and meet friends in a supportive atmosphere. Xcell program activities are specifically tailored to helping individuals and families navigate each stage of adulthood, from high school transition to older age. Our wellness programs includes adaptive tennis, swim, boxing, gardening and other fitness opportunities for children and adults with DS and provides a unique environment. We also offer a program specifically designed for our Spanish speaking families called Familias Unidas. In addition to the programs mentioned above, we also offer a webinar education series, an annual fundraising awareness walk in conjunction with community seasonal celebrations. The strategic plan includes offering a community health navigator and adult transitions guide to help families navigate the complex services available.
