The Down Syndrome Association of Central Oklahoma is a vital organization that supports individuals with Down syndrome and their families and loved ones. As a mother of a child with Down syndrome, I am thankful for the support and guidance I have received from DSACO to help me navigate life and be the best mom I can be to my daughter.
Each year, the Down Syndrome Festival and 5K event gives the association and our families the chance to raise awareness about Down syndrome and is the largest fundraising event for DSACO. All money raised will stay in the central Oklahoma area to fund the many programs, activities, and services. Our mission is "to raise awareness and provide resources, as well as promote acceptance and inclusion for people with Down syndrome."
We accomplish these goals through a number of programs including:
Free tutoring services and speech therapy for individuals with Down syndrome
Microwave-based cooking classes for teens and adult
New parent packets and quarterly new parent breakfasts
Parent-to-parent support meetings
Workshops for parents, self-advocates, and educators
Scholarships for families to attend national conventions
Education and medical outreach initiatives
Family and teen/adult events and programs
As always, we will continue to further our mission of promoting acceptance and inclusion!
