For 40 years, MDSC has been there for families every step of the way. Now, as people with Down syndrome live fuller, richer lives than ever before, we are constantly striving to provide the most updated, accurate information for ALL our families, whatever stage of life their loved one is in.

That's why we are excited about our 39th Annual Conference March 24—March 26, where we will present dozens of experts covering topics across the lifespan — whether your loved one is a baby, a young child, a teen, a young adult or an older adult. Register here.

Scroll below to see some of our children-focussed and adult-focussed workshops. You can also visit the Presentations page of our conference website to filter workshops by any of these categories:

• Adults

• Children 0-5

• Children 5-12

• Education

• For Self Advocates (teens & adults)

• Health

• Research

• Teenagers

In addition, this year for the first time ever, we are hosting Networking Sessions for various groups on Friday, March 24 from 7:15-8:15pm EST, right after our Opening Ceremony. If you are a New Family, Family of a 4-12 year old, Family of a 13-21 year old, Family of a 22+ year old, Spanish Speaking Family, Black/African American Family, Grandparent, or a Dad who has a child with Down syndrome, we welcome you to join others in the community who share common experiences to ask questions, share stories, and build or deepen relationships.
