D.A.D.S.
(Dads Appreciating Down Syndrome)
Chicago D.A.D.S. website
D.A.D.S. is a group of fathers of children who happen to have Down syndrome. The D.A.D.S. approach has 3 foundational pillars which include Support, Action and Fellowship. The focused is on supporting dads, providing them opportunities for fellowship, but also includes an outlet for action/advocacy on behalf of their families and the Down syndrome community. This approach was branded as Dads Appreciating Down Syndrome or D.A.D.S. Almost 9 years later, this model for supporting fathers of children with Down syndrome has been replicated by establishing 49 chapters throughout the US, Canada, UK, and Australia.
