OUR HISTORY
Up With Downs of Pinellas was created by two parents in 1990 in an effort
to provide support and education to other families who also had children
with Down syndrome.  

Today we continue to be a source of information and support to families, as
well as working with medical and educational professionals to promote
public awareness and encouraging a better understanding of Down
syndrome and individuals with Down syndrome.  

We have several primary purposes and programs:

  • We have a support network that assists new parents with an
    informational baby-packet, telephone contact, and personal visits.
  • We assist all parents by networking them with other parents who
    share the same medical, academic, legal or social needs.
  • We hold an annual Buddy Walk to bring the community together in
    celebration of Down syndrome.
  • We work with medical and academic professionals to promote an
    understanding of the capabilities of individuals with Down
    syndrome.  
  • We provide social events to provide families the opportunities to
    come together with other families.
  • We publish a bi-monthly newsletter that provides up to date
    information to our members regarding education, research, health,
    family issues, advocacy opportunities, social events and much more.
  • We maintain an active e-mail resource list that keeps our members
    up to date and informed on happenings both local, and nationally.
  • We maintain a web site to provide information to a wide audience.
