About Us

The Down Syndrome Association of Jacksonville (DSAJ) aims to support families as they navigate the journey for individuals with Down syndrome. The DSAJ offers support for each milestone of the lives of individuals with Down syndrome from educating the local hospitals on better ways to deliver a prenatal or post-natal diagnosis, to making sure new babies receive the therapies they need, to ensuring better and sustainable career paths.

The Down Syndrome Association of Jacksonville is here to offer you support and guidance. We encourage you to learn all you can about Down syndrome and to embrace hope for a promising future. Our goal is that the New Parent Packet will give you guidance as you begin understanding the diagnosis and optimism for a bright future.
