Our Story
In 2003, two mothers, Dianna Hansen and her co-founder, faced a life-changing moment when their daughters were diagnosed with Down syndrome just days apart. Rather than retreating, they chose to embrace this journey and create a world filled with possibilities. In 2004, they began gathering with other mothers, leading to the formation of the Central Oregon Disability Support Network. By 2010, CODSN was officially established as a nonprofit organization, expanding its mission to support families with all types of disabilities.
