It operates as a leading resource and community mobilizer, providing comprehensive services designed to empower and enable individuals with Down syndrome to reach their full potential.
History
Down Syndrome Innovations was originally founded as the Down Syndrome Guild of Greater Kansas City in 1984 by a group of parents seeking support and community for their children with Down syndrome. The organization was officially incorporated in 1986 and obtained its 501(c)(3) not-for-profit status in 1987. Over the years, it has developed a range of innovative support programs that have been replicated by other organizations across the United States.
Purpose and Activities
Down Syndrome Innovations offers a variety of services tailored to the different stages of life for individuals with Down syndrome. Its Lifespan Services include support for childhood development, social skills training, educational opportunities, and future planning for parents and caregivers. The organization also provides interdisciplinary therapeutic services, such as speech therapy and occupational therapy, to promote long-term success. These services are often facilitated through partnerships with donors and grantors, allowing many programs to be complimentary for families.
Achievements
Down Syndrome Innovations has received recognition for its marketing and communications efforts, including winning multiple Silver Philly Awards from Nonprofit Connect for outstanding achievements in nonprofit marketing and fundraising.
