Down Syndrome Information Alliance

Down Syndrome Information Alliance DSIA provides support and resources to empower individuals with Down syndrome, their families, and our community.

We envision a community where people with Ds are empowered, respected as individuals, and accepted as valued participants in their community. DSIA was founded in 2004 by three families seeking greater access to support, information, and services in our community. Since then, we’ve grown as a dedicated non-profit organization serving Sacramento, Yolo, Placer, El Dorado, Nevada, Yuba, and Sutter cou

nties. We envision a community where people with Down syndrome are empowered, respected as individuals, and accepted as valued participants in neighborhood schools, community activities, and the business world.

TIP TUESDAY: Stay Informed About Down Syndrome & Alzheimer’s Research!

Did you know that people with Down syndrome are at increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease—and researchers are making important progress in understanding and treating Down syndrome-associated Alzheimer’s disease (DS-AD)?

Join this FREE webinar with Dr. Beau Ances, a neurologist and leading researcher from Washington University in St. Louis, as he shares an update on current clinical trials in DS-AD.

Tuesday, September 15, 2026, 6:00–7:30 PM ET

You’ll learn:
Why clinical research matters
What participation in upcoming clinical trials may involve
Why families choose to participate
Why researchers are optimistic about the future of DS-AD research

Whether you’re simply curious, considering clinical research for a loved one, or want to better understand where research is headed, this is a great opportunity to learn, ask questions, and stay informed.

Thriving Thursday - a Great resource From Our Friends at the Adult Down Syndrome Center: Back-to-School Season Is Here!

Looking for a new way to manage schedules, keep track of tasks, and stay organized this school year? 📚 Check out their Resource Library’s list of visual schedule apps!

📅 Visual schedules can be a powerful tool for building independence and supporting routines for people with and without Down syndrome. They can help make daily activities more predictable, organized, and manageable.

📱 While some people prefer a traditional paper calendar or schedule, others may find an app on a phone or tablet works best for them. Our resource list includes apps that can help you create calendars, establish routines, set timers, add reminders, and more!

👉 Check out the link below to explore the list and find an option that works for you or your family!
