The Fresno Area Down Syndrome Society seeks to enhance the quality of life for people whose lives are affected by Down syndrome.

We envision a community that demonstrates acceptance, inclusion, and appreciation for the estimated 1200 people with Down syndrome living in the Fresno area.

We focus on educating the public about the abilities of and issues relating to people with Down syndrome.

Their value in society is often erroneously overlooked or ignored by the general public because of century old myths, perceptions or misconceptions.
