Vision
Live YOUR Best Life!
We are helping those with Down syndrome (our Heroes)to live their best life. Yes, that looks different for each individual; and the MVDSA is committed to each one of them, and their success on the journey. We invite you to join us as we engage on one of the most fulfilling activities on the planet - helping our Heroes "Live YOUR Best Life!"
History
In the late 1970s, several parents of children with Down syndrome began to understand the need for a way to support one another. They joined to form a group to provide information, resources and support to individuals with Down syndrome and their families. The grassroots endeavor grew as families recognized the benefits of working together towards a shared vision.
Nearly forty years later, with the help of many supporters, their unyielding vision and arduous work has taken the Miami Valley Down Syndrome Association (MVDSA) from a small parent movement to nonprofit organization supporting more than 250 families in the Miami Valley of Ohio.
We invite you to connect with our supportive community, our MVDSA family, by joining us at one of our many programs or events, or by contacting our office at (937) 222-0744 or office@mvdsa.org. We look forward to hearing from you.
