WELCOME!

     The Down Syndrome Association of Memphis and the Mid-South is a 501 (c) 3 organization that promotes the inclusion of all people with Down  syndrome by providing families and our communities with up-to-date information and education. To that same end, we strive to foster positive attitudes and enhance public awareness within our society of the inherent worth, value and contributions of people with Down syndrome.

Advocating for Inclusion: The Highs and Lows and What to Know  

Join Megan Libassi, mother of 6 years old Samuel, as she shares her story of advocating for inclusion in the public school Kindergarten, and the journey that brought them to file a law-suit. What can we expect when we advocate inclusion? what are our children’s rights for inclusion? And how do you know if you’re doing the right things as a parent? These are tough questions, and Megan will share openly about the ups and downs and why this was the best decision they ever made.
