Jessica Fahey joined the DSG team in September of 2019 and leads our adult programming. She has been working with individuals with developmental disabilities for over 8 years, with experience in the workplace environment, a creative arts based day progam and community engagement. She is very excited to connect and start building relationships with all DSG members!

DSG’s number one priority is the safety of the people we serve, our staff, and volunteers.  We have been closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation, while developing and deploying numerous methods of “virtually” serving our population during this time. We have decided to extend the cancellation of our “in-person” services until further notice. 

Adults with Down syndrome 18+ are invited to join Zoom sessions from 6:15-7:15 PM or 7:30-8:30 PM on Tuesday evenings. Each meeting will be an hour long and will be a safe space where adults can learn, chat and ask questions. We know it's difficult when we aren't able to see and talk to friends in person, so we wanted to provide an opportunity for groups to get together and socialize virtually. Staff will be present to moderate each meeting and make sure everyone has a chance to share and be heard. For safety and security, Zoom meeting reminders and links will be sent directly to registered families the afternoon of the Zoom session.
