DSDN

Our Story

In early 2013, Jen Jacob co-founded a small online group for mothers of newborns with Down syndrome. This initiative allowed mothers from across the globe to connect and support each other through the challenges of a new diagnosis. Recognizing the need for better resources, Jen and co-founder Heather Bradley launched the Down Syndrome Diagnosis Network (DSDN) on World Down Syndrome Day, March 21, 2014. Today, DSDN continues to focus on enhancing the diagnosis experience for parents and providing a robust support framework.

Our Impact

Since its inception, DSDN has transformed the conversation around Down syndrome diagnoses, ensuring that new parents receive accurate and unbiased information. The American Academy of Pediatrics has recognized DSDN as a preferred resource, expanding their communication resources to align with our vision.
