Welcome to D.A.D.S. We’ve come a long way Baby!
As we approach the 6th anniversary of the first D.A.D.S. meeting (May, 2002), I think it’s important to look at history. While Dads Appreciating Down Syndrome, to my knowledge, is the first organized, father-specific group in the “BIG” Down syndrome community, we are almost 50 years behind the FIRST Down syndrome support group.
Ask A D.A.D.
One of the greatest assets of D.A.D.S. is the availability of information. If you have a question, chances are there is another father somewhere who has dealt with the same issue at one time or another. Ask a D.A.D is a quick-response forum designed to get father’s questions answered quickly (within 24 hours).
