Monthly newsletters contain information about area activities and services, as well as articles on medical, educational, developmental, and social topics. The DSG has an extensive free lending library with current books and information for members. The DSG hosts an annual conference with nationally recognized speakers that is attended by parents, educators, and health professionals.

Printed material is translated into Spanish including the monthly newsletter entirely in Spanish. Translators are provided at events when requested.
