Down Syndrome Asscoiation of Central Florida

The Down Syndrome Association of Central Florida (DSACF) is committed to offering hope, acceptance, and empowerment to all individuals with Down syndrome and their families. Through ongoing programs, events, and resources for both members and non-members alike, we're building a loving Central Florida community of awareness through advocacy and education.

Collectively the PEN Team has over 60 years of experience with all aspects of disability, from medical diagnosis, early intervention (IFSP) to school eligibility - IDEA/IEP, inclusion in school & community settings, navigating Transition and Post Secondary options to living independently, and much much more … our goal is to share our experience, strength and hope through informal storytelling of raising our children with a wide range of disabilities & family dynamics.
