Mission Statement
The Down Syndrome Diagnosis Network (DSDN) supports families with current information and real-life accounts of life with Down syndrome during the prenatal to early childhood phases. DSDN is committed to facilitating unbiased, family-centered discussion of Down syndrome within the medical community.
Description
DSDN provides information, support and connections to families with a new Down syndrome diagnosis. We support 15% of all U.S. families with a new diagnosis in our Rockin' Family online communities. We provide families in our groups with welcome gifts, care packages and scholarships through our Rockin' Family Fund. Additionally we hold a Rockin' Mom Retreat each fall. In 2016, DSDN will be attending and exhibiting at major medical conferences to share with professionals how they can positively impact families in delivering a diagnosis.
