Mission

The Down Syndrome Association of Pittsburgh is a group of parents and professionals dedicated to enriching the lives of people with Down syndrome. The mission of the DSAP is simple. We are here to support families by providing: New Parent Packets to families beginning their journey; financial support to the Down Syndrome Center at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC for both the pediatric and adult clinics, two clinics established due to the generosity of DSAP members; and contributions to the community resources and national endeavors that focus on improving the well-being of people with Down syndrome.

We're Moving Forward!

We are excited about our new endeavors. DSAP has initiated a Hospital Outreach Project to families with new babies so they have immediate access to positive and accurate information while they are still in the hospital. We are developing Adult Information Packets for families and others who care for adults with Down syndrome when they attend appointments at the Adult Down Syndrome Center. DSAP also honors the memory of loved ones with Down syndrome with a memorial gift. In addition to the fall Buddy Walk, DSAP sponsors an annual summer Golf Outing. We are excited to be working on our 3rd Down Syndrome Awareness Calendar, featuring children and adults from our membership.
