Better Understanding of Down Syndrome

Support Group for Down Syndrome Families

in West Texas and Eastern New Mexico

Our purpose is to:

Educate, inform, and support families who have loved ones with Down syndrome.

Provide support and encouragement to new parents of babies with Down syndrome.

Organize educational and social opportunities for individuals with Down syndrome and their families that help encourage social and physical development.

Give important, current information and support to our families through our quarterly newsletter, website, and e-mail updates.

Promote literacy and lifelong learning opportunities for individuals with Down syndrome of all ages.

Disability does not mean Inability.
