The North Carolina Down Syndrome Alliance is committed to helping our staff and their families, our community groups, partners, and the Down syndrome community to stay healthy by doing what we can to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, COVID-19. To help mitigate the impact of this evolving public health issue, NCDSA’s physical offices will be closed until further notice. NCDSA staff will be working remotely to serve children and adults with Down syndrome in North Carolina and available 9am-5pm EST by phone, email, and virtual meetings. In the meantime, please be safe and stay healthy! Learn more about Covid-19 and Down syndrome. 
The board of directors and staff of NCDSA attended the ribbon cutting for the much-anticipated UNC Down Syndrome Clinic on March 17, 2025. The clinic offers coordinated care across multiple disciplines including physical therapy, occupational therapy, audiology, speech therapy, nutrition, family medicine, and more. WRAL covered the opening, click here to see the article and video.
NCDSA is proud to support the clinic by funding the Nurse Clinic Coordinator position, which plays a pivotal role in both clinic operations and providing resources, information, and support for families. Thank you to all the generous donors who have made this possible!
Appointments are now available through the clinic’s website at https://www.uncchildrens.org/uncmc/unc-childrens/care-treatment/primary-care/outpatient-pediatrics-section/down-syndrome-program/
