January News for You!
Down Syndrome Innovations offers adult services and supports that focus on maximizing independence; integrating into the community; preparing for employment; increasing health and wellness; and learning essential social skills.
This monthly newsletter is created for you and your family!
Register ASAP for Winter Programming!
Currently, we are meeting VIRTUALLY each week due to increasing cases of COVID and its variants.
Groups meet from 5:30 - 6:30 pm every Tuesday, until we deem it safe for us to meet in-person (on alternating weeks).
Virtual groups allow participants to continue to develop their social skills and interact with peers at a distance
In-Person Gatherings Postponed for Now!
We are hoping that in February, it will be safe enough for us to begin hosting in-person activities again.
These gatherings will occur from 6 - 8 pm at our office (every other week, alternating with our virtual sessions via zoom).
NOTE: due to the generous support of our donors, these events are complimentary/free for our families

We are now enrolling for ACE Essentials, our foundational program which includes daily learning focuses, physical activity, and social engagement.
