What's in a Name?
The oldest organization in the United States serving children and adults with Down syndrome and their families... was founded in Chicago in 1960 by Kay McGee.
Focus on Adults
We asked ourselves the question – if we don’t help this group of adults who have been shunned and neglected all their lives – who will? We determined that NADS would try, and we set about looking for better ways to serve our adults.
N.A.D.S. was instrumental in the development of The Adult Down Syndrome Center at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital where Dr. Dennis McGuire and Dr. Brian Chicoine practice medicine. |
