My Nonprofit Reviews

The DSC has been part of the Danville community for as along as I can remember. I started volunteering there as a child and now work inside the Connection as a speech pathologist. It’s a BEAUTIFUL place. The culture is loving, caring and all encompassing. Everyone supports each other, and the resources provided free of charge to its community are outstanding! Anyone can be a member (free) and use its resources. It’s a truly an inclusive environment and a giant “Love bubble” in my opinion. Hands down best place to work

The DSCBA has felt like a home for me since I was a child and volunteered my time with the organization. Today I now specialize in working with children with DS because of the education, support and connection I received from the DSCBA through my life. When you walk into the doors of the "connection" I always like to describe it as a big love bubble of warmth that you step into. The waiting room area is filled with toys for children to play with, while the lending library is there to provide free resources to parents and professionals. Families are always welcome to stop in to ask questions about their school placements, medical questions or just to stop by for some support. The connection has been doing some major outreach the past few years and has educated hundreds of school professionals, hospital staff, parents and private professionals in the needs of children with DS. The connection has grandparent, family, new baby, and educational support groups where families connect and share stories and information. It has developmental classes for all ages of students. No one is ever turned away due to finances. Working alongside the connection and it's families has enriched my life endlessly. The staff and board members are truly sincere and hardworking people whose efforts are solely for the benefit of the children. Not only is the connection a place of work for many, but it's a home for all. It is my personal experience in being a part of grant funded programs that monies donated are used properly and effectively for the benefit of our children directly. It's been amazing the changes made due to funding donated! Thank you for considering us... And please stop by!!!
