Founded in 1987, the Down Syndrome Organization of Southern Nevada (DSOSN) is a 501(c)(3) organization with a service population made up of individuals with unique abilities, most of whom are diagnosed with Down syndrome and other intellectual developmental disabilities (I/DD). The organization offers an array of impactful programs and recreational activities, all at no cost to its members. Aimed at meeting the critical needs of this service population, DSOSN also fosters a constructive perception of persons diagnosed with Down syndrome (and other I/DD) by focusing on maximizing their potentials, through self-awareness, self-advocacy, inclusion, and job-readiness preparation, with all their programs and training rooted in the following three Core Pillars: Education, Employment, and Independent Living.
