We understand that this time must be filled with mixed emotions for you and your family, and we want you to know that you are not alone in your journey. We would like to suggest that in reading about Down syndrome, you take your time and digest only the information that is helpful to you. It is our philosophy that your baby is a baby first, with Down syndrome second.

We are here to support you in every way possible and welcome you to contact us with any questions you may have. You may reach Cathleen, director of parent support, at (925) 362-8660 x104 or cathleen@dscba.org.
