Manasota B.U.D.S. Groups

BUDS regularly sponsors networking events for Moms and Dads. For example, our Dads Appreciating Down Syndrome (DADS) Night Out program typically takes place the 2nd Wednesday of every month. Manasota BUDS is also exploring opportunities to offer periodic evening respite care so that our parents can enjoy a night together.

Our mission is to provide families with a neutral and supportive forum for sharing and networking, and to promote understanding and acceptance of Down syndrome.
A few of the programs and services offered include:
Support for new parents of babies with Down Syndrome,
Family Social Events, Playgroups and Gatherings, Parents Night Out, and Parent Education.
