Why should I join IMDSA?

By joining IMDSA not only will you will receive our *Special Membership Privileges such as discounts to IMDSA's events and awareness products, you will also receive our informative monthly newsletter mDs Press! to keep you up-to-date with the latest news, research, stories and information!

What will IMDSA use this money for?

Your donations will be put to good use! A large percent of the medical community has never even heard of mosaic Down syndrome. And a larger percent of parents and educators have no knowledge of mDs. As a parent of a child with mDs, many are confused and do not know what this diagnosis means for their child. With your donation, we will be able to provide information to people around the world about mDs! These funds will also be used to enable us to provide an educational conference for all those interested in mDs. In addition to educating the public about mDs, we also provide support to families of children with mosaic Down syndrome. With this support system, parents are able to interact with other parents having the same concerns and often find solutions to their problems when raising their child with mDs. You will find more than support with our organization; you will find a whole new family when you join IMDSA!

Family Connect Program

Family Connect is a program to better enable families to be in contact with others. 

There is nothing better than talking with someone who is experiencing the same things you are when raising your child with mDs. Family Connect will match families according to state, country, age, or medical condition. Often, Family Connect partners will be contacted when a new family requests to speak with a partner. 

If you have not signed up to be a Family Connect Partner, it is simple and quick! Just fill out our online form and you will receive our Family Connect packet to help you communicate with other families. 

To help us maintain this program please consider donating to IMDSA ,so we can continue to Unite Unique People in a Unique World.
