WHO WE ARE
The Northern Colorado Down Syndrome Association (NCDSA) started off with just a couple of parents who were determined to bring together families in Northern Colorado who have a loved one with Down syndrome. Since then, we have grown to an organization that serves hundreds of people throughout the Northern Colorado area.
WHAT WE DO
NCDSA exists to provide support and connection for individuals with Down syndrome and their families through advocacy, awareness, and relationships.
Advocacy
We empower individuals with Down syndrome—and their families—to use their voice in creating the life they desire.

NEW PARENT BASKETS
Northern Colorado Down Syndrome Association provides baby baskets to families with a new baby born with Down syndrome. These baskets contain new items such as books, knitted blankets, clothing, toys, informational pamphlets, and other useful items.
All of these items are provided by Northern Colorado Down Syndrome Association and generous donors from the community. Please contact us if you, or someone you know, would like a basket or you would like to donate items.
What is World Down Syndrome Day?
World Down Syndrome Day—March 21—is a global awareness day observed since 2012. It is to create a single, global voice for advocating for the rights, inclusion and well-being of people with Down syndrome!
