The DSA of Greater Charlotte has a number of support groups within and outside of our organization. These groups support families of individuals with Down syndrome from birth through adulthood. Family outings include playdates, social clubs, sibling support, mom’s nights out, educational and therapeutic-based activities.
For more information about existing support groups in your area or groups that you would like to get started please contact Victoria Coles at 704-536-2163 or via email at victoria.coles@dsa-gc.org
