Together We Can Make a Difference.
what we are doing
DS Action identifies the unmet needs of people with Down syndrome and finds creative solutions to meet those needs. As an example, DS Action determined that many children with Down syndrome do not receive the same level of recommended medical and developmental care, and that parents often find it difficult to get referrals to a variety of available intervention services.
To meet this need, DS Action worked to establish a Down Syndrome Center, where all children with Down syndrome would have an equal opportunity of receiving recommended evaluations, referrals and intervention services. Partnering with Rady Children’s Hospital – San Diego, DS Action made this idea a reality.

DS Action is very proud of our partnership with Rady Children’s Hospital – San Diego. Together, we established the Down Syndrome Center, which opened on January 15, 2008. The Center provides specialized care to people with Down syndrome and their families.

Dr. Russ Reinbolt Runs Montane YUKON ARCTIC ULTRA in Support of DS Action
DS Action is excited to share that our friend, Russ Reinbolt, Emergency Room Doctor and Ultramarathon Runner, has chosen to run in support of DS Action AGAIN. This time, he will be racing 430 miles in the extreme cold weather in Canada to fundraise for DS Action and and raise awareness for people with Down syndrome.
Dr. Reinbolt is asking that everyone please contribute what they can to support in his efforts. Whether that be to donate .10 cents per mile that he will run (430 total miles=$43) or any amount that you feel comfortable contributing to his campaign.
Survey - How Can We Better Serve Our Community?
It’s hard to believe that we have been serving the Down syndrome community for over 14 years. What started out as a friendly dinner gathering at a parent’s home in 2006, lead us to opening the 1st Down syndrome medical center in Southern California, with our partners at Rady Children’s Hospital in January 2008.
Over the years, we have listened to the needs of our community and continue to take action, inspire change and create opportunities on behalf of people with Down syndrome and their families. Help us to continue the work that we do, by taking a few minutes to complete this survey. Thank you!
