Down Syndrome Connection of the Bay Area

$2,110 raised from 29 donations

How We Impact the Community

DSCBA is the only regularly staffed organization specifically dedicated to serving the Down syndrome community in the Bay Area, including Napa County.

We provide low-cost or free access to supportive therapies and classes for people of all ages with Down syndrome, including education support, Music Therapy, THRIVE developmental classes, communication support, and more to help them succeed in school and life. Most importantly, we provide a sense of community and ongoing, consistent, long-term connection for our member families.

We work with a growing community of families in Napa County, and plan to use funds from our campaign to bring our popular THRIVE developmental classes for youth and adults with Down syndrome directly to Napa.

Testimonial

When T. was diagnosed with Down syndrome, I didn’t know that I would become part of a new supportive family. At every step, DSCBA has assisted T. in meeting or surpassing her goals. Please consider this wonderful organization. They are a lifeline to a community usually forgotten.
