The Down Syndrome Association of Tallahassee

The Down Syndrome Association of Tallahassee was created by Tallahassee parents in 2004 in an effort to provide support and education to families who had children with Down syndrome. We continue to grow today and promote public awareness of Down syndrome and to be a source of information and support to families in Tallahassee and the big bend area.



"Through DSAT, we have had the opportunity to meet other families whose experiences are similar to our own. We have made great new friends and have truly enjoyed getting to know them! We are really looking forward to this year’s Buddy Walk!  " Emma's Mom
 



"The support that DSAT has provided me and my family has been amazing. Members of the group have made us aware of resources in our community that we may have never been made aware of otherwise. Being able to share information amongst new found friends has proved to be invaluable." 
Eric Faris
