FRIENDS

The organizations listed below are members of DSAGNO’s ever widening circle of friends across the country. One of the most critical things parents of a child with Down syndrome can do for themselves is make connections with other parents of children with Down syndrome. This enables us to trade information “through the grapevine” so to speak. Some of the most important things we can learn will come through the experiences of others rather than a book.
In our effort to bring more information to parents and families, DSAGNO reaches out to other organizations in the same way parents reach out to each other. This enables us to bring more parents together, seek out nationally-renowned speakers, and bring more information to our membership.

We’ve listed below a just few of the new “friends” DSAGNO has made and we’ll continue to add friends to the list as our circle of friends grows, so check back frequently.
