Celebrating and supporting people with Down Syndrome and their families.
DSAMT is a community of parents, grandparents, siblings, physicians, educators, professionals, friends, and self-advocates from 40 counties in Middle Tennessee who celebrate and support individuals with Down Syndrome and their families. DSAMT is inclusive and does not draw stiff boundaries, so if you're in town or you have a need we can help, you're welcome to reach out or join us.
We envision a world in which individuals with Down syndrome are accepted, included, and valued for the extraordinary gifts they bring to our lives.
The Extra Mile® is the largest Down syndrome awareness event in TN and is DSAMT's primary source for program funding....but you do not have to fundraise to participate. Whether you know someone who has Down syndrome or just want to show your support, take the first step and donate or register today! Help us spread the word; everyone is welcome to our day of celebration!
When Greg and I found out we were unexpectedly expecting, we knew that, as older parents, there was a possibility of complications. Still, nothing prepares you for hearing that your baby has Down syndrome and complex heart defects.
While the news of your child having Down syndrome may have come unexpectedly, your life will be full of many wonderful surprises and experiences. You may be feeling overwhelmed right now, but you need to know that your feelings are perfectly natural and that you are not alone. We are here to help celebrate with you and support you along the way.
