National Down Syndrome Congress

We are the National Down Syndrome Congress, known around the world as NDSC. We are the leading national resource of support and information for anyone touched by or seeking to learn about Down syndrome, from the moment of prenatal diagnosis through adulthood. NDSC is a member-sustained non-profit organization, composed of parents, self-advocates, siblings, grandparents, educators, physicians, therapists, other professionals, friends, and supporters. Our purpose is to promote the interests of people with Down syndrome and their families through advocacy, public awareness, and information. Often, a family's first interaction with the NDSC comes from a phone call as a new or expectant parent. This can begin a lifelong relationship with the NDSC, as our programs and resources are available to individuals with Down syndrome and their families at every step of the way. Our services are available in both English and Spanish.
