Membership Information

DSOSN MEMBERSHIP

 

Membership dues enable the Down Syndrome Organization of Southern Nevada to continue to provide services and programs for the families of Southern Nevada whose lives have been affected by Down syndrome. When we are notified, we are a source of comfort and will show up in person with a gift and informational packet to parents whose new babies have Down syndrome. Throughout the year we address and educate various groups about Down syndrome, attend regional and national workshops, and make every effort to be an active and positive presence in the community. Parent education is very important to us, we provide a monthly newsletter that is useful and informative as well as keeping our lending library updated with the latest materials and resources. We also try to steer families toward the proper resources when we know of professionals or organizations that can help with their particular areas of concern. Your membership and support enable us to do all these things.

 

All families, individuals, businesses, organizations or professionals who have an interest in Down syndrome are encouraged to join the DSOSN.
