The Down Syndrome Association of Polk County is a regional group under the umbrella of the Down Syndrome Association of Central Florida, and was founded in 2006 by parents of children with Down syndrome. The initial group started in 2006 by Karyn Spencer, a mom and advocate for her child, Grant. The group grew, adding many Polk County families and mutual friends to help advocate for and support our local DS community.
