Groups - Adults
Adults with Down syndrome are a group of DSAV members that are under served. We would love to have a facilitator to plan social events and programs for this group.
As we find materials and resources for regarding adults with Down syndrome we will put them here. We hope to help facilitate more research and study in the area of adults with Ds.
