Welcome to CODSN!
Our network was started by two moms after their girls were born with Down syndrome just eight days apart in 2003. As we connected and began connecting with other families, we found such a value in others who were able to understand. In 2010 we developed an official board of directors and received our IRS non-profit status. We now are a network of over 1000 families in Central Oregon who have children experiencing disability.
Thanks to donations and grants we are able to continue connecting families and providing information and resources at no cost.
