With Your Support, DSNMC Provides:

New Parent Resources: Available in English and Spanish to all parents who contact us and who have received a pre-natal or post-natal diagnosis of Down syndrome. The packet is valued at approximately $100 and is provided to new parents free of charge.

Annual Parents and Educators Conference: Techniques for Success (TFS), which brings in national speakers and self-advocates to teach educators practical tips and strategies for educating students with Down syndrome and those with other special needs. Educators and parents are able to attend for only a nominal fee and receive continuing education credit and a flash drive of resources that they bring back to their schools.

Advocacy efforts: DSNMC partners with local and national organizations to raise awareness of Down syndrome.

Networking opportunities: Including monthly playdates and coffees. These opportunities give parents the chance to ask each other questions, share resources and offer support to each other.

Tools for School Workshops: DSNMC works with the ARC Montgomery County and the Autism Society to sponsor these workshops on topics such as IEPs, Transition, and other special education related topics which parents and educators attend free of charge.

Self-advocates sponsorships: To participate in a series of workshops with ArtStream, an organization that creates artistic opportunities for people with disabilities. These workshops are provided free-of-charge to our self-advocates to help them to build confidence and learn how to present themselves in public and social situations.

Social events: Every year, we host our annual winter dance, spring picnic, summer party, and the Step Up for Down Syndrome Awareness Walk.
