Mission"Committed to enhancing the lives of individuals and families touched by Down syndrome."
The Omaha Down Syndrome Parents Network was started in 1999 by parents who felt the need to connect with other parents of children with Down syndrome. Down syndrome is one of the most common causes of birth defects and developmental delays- occurring once in every 733 births.
ODSPN works to promote awareness and inclusion for persons with Down syndrome. Today ODSPN provides information to over 300 families and professionals in the greater Omaha area, and social, educational and support programs for those with Down syndrome and their families.
