A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
“I knew when my son, Ethan, was in the NICU 13 years ago that a lot of the information that I researched and received about Down syndrome was not the most current or up to date. The information limited what the expectations of our kids with Down syndrome should be, and my husband and I wanted more for him. I’m proud to say that the Down Syndrome Association for Families of Nebraska (DSAF) has been a driving force in Nebraska over the past decade for providing positive, current, and accurate resources for individuals and families. DSAF helps improve the lives of people with Down syndrome and builds support and relationships throughout our community. Every person with Down syndrome deserves to feel like a star. When they are involved in DSAF, everything from our logo to our programming reflects the star inside each of us.
