In many ways, there has never been a better time to have a child with Down syndrome, and yet we still hear of families not being given information or access to support when receiving a diagnosis. Help DSDN bridge this gap by donating now.

In many ways, there has never been a better time to have a child with Down syndrome, and yet we still hear of families not being given information or access to support when receiving a diagnosis. Help DSDN bridge this gap by donating now.

Down Syndrome Diagnosis Network (DSDN) is the largest national organization supporting new and expectant parents with a Down syndrome diagnosis. The mission of the Down Syndrome Diagnosis Network is to connect, support, and provide accurate information to parents - and the medical professionals who serve them - from the time of diagnosis through age 3, while fostering the opportunity for lifelong connections. Our vision is that every Down syndrome diagnosis will be delivered in an unbiased, factual, and supportive way every time, and that families can quickly find meaningful connections.

We currently reach about 23% of those with a new diagnosis annually and support over 22,000 families that have a child with Down syndrome, with an emphasis on diagnosis and early childhood. We are a recommended resource by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
