JSDSA - A Down syndrome support and advocacy group for Ocean and Monmouth Countiies in New Jersey
The idea for the Jersey Shore Down Syndrome Association was born not long after the birth of Valerie Marsden-Gray’s second child. “There is such a desperate need for an organization of this type in the area. Some of the experiences that our parents have been through are stressful and frightening, and completely avoidable. Parents need a reliable source for information and access to proven resources, as well as a supportive community environment, and we can provide that”, says Marsden-Gray.
