Vision

The vision of the Down Syndrome Association of Central Texas is a world in which all members, including those with Down syndrome, are accepted, valued for their uniqueness, respected for their abilities and contributions, and assured the opportunity and choice to create their own path to fulfillment and success.

Mission

The mission of DSACT is to provide support and resources to individuals with Down syndrome, their families, professionals, and the community to achieve our vision. We achieve this by:
  • Promoting the development of programs that enrich the lives of individuals with Down syndrome;
  • Increasing public awareness and understanding about the abilities of individuals with Down syndrome;
  • Encouraging the inclusion of individuals with Down syndrome in our neighborhoods, schools, places of worship, recreational activities, and places of employment;
  • Providing education, resources and support to parents and educators to ensure quality education which will prepare individuals with Down syndrome for further education, employment and independent living; and
  • Creating a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences.
