About the Down Syndrome of Atlanta (DSAA)

The Down Syndrome Association of Atlanta was created by metro-Atlanta parents in 1979 in an effort to provide support and education to families who had children with Down syndrome. We continue today as a source of information and support to families, as well as working to promote public awareness and encouraging a better understanding of Down syndrome and individuals with Down syndrome. We rely solely on donations, member dues and fundraisers to continue this important and meaningful work for the community.

Mission Statement: DSAA enhances the lives of individuals with Down syndrome and their families through support, education, advocacy and awareness.


We have five primary programs:

Support new parents with an informational packet, telephone contact, and personal visits. Assist new parents in meeting other parents who live near them..



Hold a bi-annual educational conference bringing together parents and professionals with the latest information regarding health, research, education, therapies, behavior management strategies, and advocacy.



Provide financial support to parent groups affiliated with DSAA.



Publish a bi-monthly newsletter that provides updated information to our membership regarding education, research, health, family issues, advocacy opportunities, and social events.



Maintain our web site to provide information to a wide audience
