For new and expecting parents
You’re not alone, we’re here to support you
There are more than 250,000 individuals with Down syndrome in the United States, and it occurs in approximately one in every 758 live births, which means you’re not alone. Welcoming a baby into the world is a beautiful celebration of life, but receiving a prenatal or postnatal Down syndrome diagnosis can be scary and overwhelming. It may leave you with more questions than answers, but we’re here to help—supporting and connecting you to a caring community to navigate this experience.

Welcome basket
Early Intervention services can help children with Down syndrome develop to their full potential. If you’ve received a pre or postnatal Down syndrome diagnosis, sign up to get a new or expectant parent basket filled with information and resources—plus, we can connect you with a support parent upon request.

Prenatal diagnosis support group
Join our non-judgmental support group for women who have recently received a prenatal Down Syndrome diagnosis and are looking for personal support. The group is for women in various stages of their pregnancy and decision-making journey—no matter what decisions you’ve made.

Become a support parent
Connecting with another parent who has a child with Down syndrome is one of the most helpful resources a parent will have—a lifesaver that helps make the journey a little easier. We train parents, and then we match them with new and expectant parents who need support.
