• Early Years Track - information and advice about the education and development of infants and toddlers with Down syndrome from birth to 5 years
• Childhood Track - information and advice about the education and development of young children with Down syndrome from 5 to 11 years
• Adolescence Track - information and advice about the development of young people with Down syndrome from 11 years old through high school

These accredited two-day tracks provide education and therapy professionals with the information and practical advice they need to provide the most effective education, therapy, care and support for children and young people with Down syndrome. They are also suitable for families seeking detailed information.

 

Working in Partnership

Recognizing that the most important resource in any child's life is their family, each track addresses the way professionals can work in partnership with families to fully support their children's development. Professionals will find that much of the practical information and guidance offered in relation to meeting the needs of children with Down syndrome is directly relevant and transferrable to their work with other children with learning, communication and language difficulties.

 

A Platform for Communication

Delegates will receive a pack of support materials to enable further learning based on course content. Each presentation will provide delegates with a guide to further reading - covering both key research papers and practical references to allow delegates to extend their knowledge as they wish. The in-depth tracks are accredited by Down Syndrome Education International.
