We are excited to announce that we are committed to enhancing wellness for individuals with Down Syndrome in the Roanoke Valley. We understand that people with Down Syndrome have unique wellness needs, and accessing fitness, therapy, and mental health resources can sometimes be challenging. Especially in areas where resources are scarce. The Roanoke Valley, with its mix of rural and urban areas, presents a diverse community with varying needs. Our included resources are designed to cater to all members of the community, ensuring that individuals with Down Syndrome have access to the support and services they need to thrive.

*We are thrilled to announce the availability of third-party resources for our community. Please note that while the DSAR does not officially endorse or support these resources, we believe they can provide valuable insights and support. Explore these resources and enhance your knowledge and skills in new and exciting ways!
