Purpose: Empower and support individuals with Down syndrome and their families to access resources, engage with their community, and progress toward self-actualization.


Mission: Provide lifelong services and support to children and adults with Down syndrome and their families in South Texas in order to optimize well-being, develop rewarding relationships, and foster inclusion in the community.


Vision: Every person with Down syndrome will achieve their fullest potential and live their best life.

In 1994, a group of concerned parents raising children with Down syndrome reached out to one another for support. They started meeting in their living rooms to exchange resources, share stories, and build relationships, hoping to provide a better future for their children. These relationships and connections have become an integral part of our organization's values, providing encouragement and support for people with Down syndrome and their families..
