The Heart Behind the Mission
In this episode of the Community Chats podcast, Domenic Gentilini, parent, advocate, and founder, Down Syndrome Foundation offers an honest and hopeful perspective on building a brighter future for people with developmental disabilities.
From the early days of his son’s diagnosis to creating a foundation that fills critical gaps for families, Domenic’s journey is one of determination, love, and impact. He talks about the importance of early supports, their newly launched Skilled Trades Training Program, and helpful resources available to families navigating similar journeys. Through his lens as both a parent and changemaker, Domenic reflects on belonging and what it truly means to create opportunities where everyone can thrive.
