February News for You!
Down Syndrome Innovations offers services and supports at every age and stage to help your child grow and thrive.
This monthly newsletter is created for you and your family!
Be sure to stop by our campus for our World Down Syndrome Day – “Drive Thru Celebration!”
We will be lined up in our driveway cheering; handing out goody bags; and showing how much we celebrate with you on this important day! All you need to do is “drive thru” any time between 4:30 – 6:30 pm! (Perfect for parents who want kiddos to remain in their car seats!)
And get ready for us to make your loved one with Down syndrome feel like a Rock Star! P.S. the first 250 people with Down syndrome who attend will receive a limited edition giveaway!
Spots Available for Winter Social Groups!
(In Person)
Our Winter Programming is under way! These Social Groups focus on providing a structured environment for children to practice social skills and interact with peers in their age group. Various activities will be provided week to week and supporting staff will facilitate interaction between participants and transitions between activities.
Meeting every other Thursday, we have two options for times:
- Option 1: 5:00 - 6:00 pm
- Option 2: 6:15 - 7:15 pm
NOTE: due to the generous support of our donors and grantors, these events are complimentary/free for our families
*Groups will be limited to 12 participants per session out of caution. Once a group has reached 12 registered participants, a waitlist will be started. If you sign up for the waitlist, you will be contacted in the event of an open spot for a session.

Individualized Therapy Services Designed
to Empower Your Child at Home and
in the Community!
Our Pathways Therapeutic Services focus on equipping families of children with practical strategies and purposeful activities today, which prepare them for a meaningful, productive, and authentic adult life in the future!
The Pathways team includes an occupational therapist (OT), a speech-language pathologist (SLP), and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).
We utilize evidence-based, best practices provided by therapists with advanced knowledge in Down syndrome.
Join Us for our Parent/Caregiver Roundtable!
(Virtual)
Parent/Caregiver Roundtables provide an opportunity to get together and ask questions; share resources; and build connections with other parents and caregivers. These groups run from 5:15 to 6:00 pm (every other Thursday), but parents and caregivers are more than welcome to continue the conversation with others beyond the official end time.
These groups are held on the off weeks of our Children’s In-Person Social Group, and will be hosted virtually in order to allow flexibility for parents and caregivers. Your child does not have to be attending the Children’s In-Person Group or any other services for you to attend our Virtual Parent and Caregiver Roundtables.
NOTE: due to the generous support of our donors and grantors, these events are complimentary/FREE for our families.
Designed for ALL AGES! Join us on March 5th for an educational seminar that will not only address the main health challenges of people with Down syndrome, but also how to address them at every stage of life.
Presented by our Health & Wellness Coordinator, Scott Quaife, NSCA-CPT. You will learn various ways to incorporate an active lifestyle tailored to your loved one’s specific stage of this journey.
