A non-profit organization established in 1977, the UTAH DOWN SYNDROME FOUNDATION provides outreach, training, counseling, support, education, information, and activities for individuals with Down syndrome, their parents and families, and the community. With 14 chapters throughout the state, this volunteer organization has grown to become Utah's largest support provider for the Down syndrome community.

The UDSF strives to bring families together to share experiences, challenges, goals, and dreams and to educate parents and society in understanding and appreciating the needs of individuals with Down syndrome. As parents gain knowledge, they are empowered to become better advocates for their children, thus providing them with increased opportunities to reach their highest potential.
