Milwaukee Coverage Areas-01.png

Welcome! This page is home to the DSAW State Headquarters and the DSAW- Southeastern WI chapter. Our West Allis-based State office serves the entire state of Wisconsin while piloting replicable programs & services in Southeastern WI. DSAW-Southeastern WI serves Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, Washington, and Jefferson Counties. Our goal is to support individuals with Down syndrome or related disabilities and their families in our community. We do this by connecting families with local resources (and each other). To get connected with headquarters or DSAW- Southeastern WI, please email us!

DSAW-Sheboygan and Surrounding Counties chapter is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organized through the Down Syndrome Association of WI, Inc. All donations are tax-deductible and support programs and services in the greater Sheboygan area. Click here to make a donation.


Registration is now open for our 2025 Down Syndrome Awareness Walk

Thanks to the incredible generosity of supporters like you, DSAW made a huge impact in 2024! Together, we delivered 41,168 hours of direct services, awarded 69 enrichment grants to families across Wisconsin, and provided 46 free parent packs to families receiving a Down syndrome diagnosis—and that’s just the beginning (see the graphic below for more!).

We couldn’t do it without our amazing community. Most of DSAW’s programs and events are made possible through the funds raised during our annual Awareness Walk. That’s why we need YOU to keep the momentum going. Be a part of the difference—join us today!
