Welcome to Down Syndrome Advocates in Action Nebraska! 

​We are a 501(c)3 not for profit formed by advocates with over 20 years of experience, who want to promote inclusion and acceptance of individuals with Down syndrome of all ages in the state of Nebraska.  We hope to encourage families to be an active participant in helping all individuals with Down syndrome to achieve their full potential.  ​By working together we can accomplish many great things!  

​New Parents


​Congratulations! We would like to welcome your family to our community.  While you may be overwhelmed at the news of a new diagnosis, you are not alone.  We are here to provide you with current and accurate information about Down syndrome and can match you with a trained parent mentor.  We have resources for prenatal diagnosis, postnatal diagnosis, and Grandparents.
