About the DSASTX

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, our MISSION is “to provide lifelong services and support to children and adults with Down syndrome and their families in South Texas to optimize well-being, develop rewarding relationships, and foster inclusion in the community.” The DSASTX started with six families who reached out to one another for support and hoping to provide a better future for their children. In 1994, they started meeting in their living rooms to exchange resources, share stories, and build relationships, hoping to provide a better future for their children. These relationships and connections have become an integral part of our organization's values, providing encouragement and support for people with Down syndrome and their families.

Now over 30 years later, we are proud to serve over 1,400 children and adults with Down syndrome by providing support through ongoing programming, resources, and events for our families across South Texas!
