Heart of Illinois Down Syndrome Association

Heart of Illinois Down Syndrome Association, Inc is a local support group of parent volunteers funded through donations and fundraising activities.  We formed in 1980 and established as a 501(c)3 in 2003.   HOIDSA demonstrates its commitment to improving the quality of life of persons with Down Syndrome by providing support, advocacy, and educational opportunities to those individuals, their families, and community advocates.

We provide support and education through fundraiser events, workshops and conferences on topics such as health, inclusive education and behavioral support strategies. We are looking for help organizing fund raisers, social events and educational workshops for students, parents and educators.
