Down Syndrome Alliance of the Midlands (DSA), founded in 1999, is committed to connecting those touched by Down syndrome through education, advocacy and support. Whether a family is celebrating the birth or anticipating the arrival of a baby, DSA is here to help celebrate getting started on this rewarding journey of having a child with Down syndrome.
DSA Outreach Coordinator, Stacey Carnazzo spoke with Mike Hogan on KIOS-FM’s “Live & Local” program about the mission and the many full life-span services they provide. She also discussed celebrating the upcoming World Down Syndrome Day on 3/21. That date has significance as it was chosen to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which leads to Down syndrome.
The DSA also had a Rock Your Socks celebration with the availability of socks for purchase as a fundraiser and show of support for all the work they do in the greater Omaha and Council Bluffs metro areas to help families impacted by Down syndrome.
