Parent connections matter

 

Parent connections are at the heart of our mission at DSDN. We know that often, other parents are the first to reach out to families with a welcome gift or resources. DSDN also realizes how powerful parents advocates can be within their community in educating and reaching out to medical professionals, early intervention professionals and more.  

​

It is our pleasure to send DSDN materials to support you in your work locally.  We believe working hand in hand with families and local organizations will enable new families to have a strong network of support.
