Classes

Classes and activities are important to any child’s growth and development, and especially important for individuals with Down syndrome.   DSST is happy to provide financial support of $500/individual per year for classes/activities.  

To receive the class scholarship, email Carrie Hanshaw (hanshawc@yahoo.com) with the following information:
1. Name of the person with Down syndrome attending the class/therapy
2. Name and brief description of the class/therapy
3. An invoice showing the total dollar amount being requested
4. Name and address of the class/therapy provider

We will review your submission and verify that you have the amount requested remaining in your account. We will then reply to the email verifying your request and will mail the payment directly to the provider. We can not write checks directly to families. We can mail you the check, if you would like to hand deliver to the provider. If you would like to do that, please add that request to your email. Requests must come from families directly, not the providers.

We are so thankful for the generous donations to the DSST throughout the year, especially at our Buddy Walk, that enable us to continue this wonderful program! We had 69 families participate in our scholarship program in 2023 and we look forward to continuing our support of enrichment activities for our members.
