DSA Parent Connection
DSA Parent Connection events are for expectant parents, parents of infants, and parents new to the Omaha area. This is an opportunity to meet other parents who are at the same stage of their Down syndrome journey. You will also meet DSA leaders and learn about our mission to connect those touched by Down syndrome through education, advocacy and support. See our Event Calendar to register for an upcoming DSA Parent Connection event.
DSA Moms
DSA Moms is a subgroup of the Down Syndrome Alliance of the Midlands. It is an active and engaged community of moms who reside in Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa. From monthly morning coffees to Moms Night Out events, we gather to lend one another support as we travel this common journey. While we face many of the same issues, we all have unique experiences and perspectives. We all benefit from sharing resources, tips, advice and friendship. Check out the Event Calendar for upcoming events!
