The Down Syndrome Connection is passionate and dedicated to encouraging the unlimited potential in children and adults with Down syndrome throughout the San Francisco Bay Area since 1998. Our mission is to empower, inspire and support people with Down syndrome, their families and the community that serves them, while fostering awareness and acceptance in all areas of life.
We pride ourselves on developing services that are in line with our members’ needs and continuously break down barriers to success by providing resources, technology and education through our direct services. Our Down Syndrome Education Alliance, Expression Connection and Communication Readiness Programs, as well as Peer Development Classes, Medical Outreach Alliance, public policy outreach, education advocacy, new parent outreach, support groups and more reflect the diverse needs of our members.
The Medical Outreach Alliance of the DSCBA supports expectant and new families as well as the medical professionals who care for our families.
We deliver current and accurate information about Down syndrome to medical facilities to share with expectant and new families. We currently work with 37 hospitals and birthing centers throughout the Bay Area to provide information about programs, services, and supports the DSCBA offers families.
