Before you get settled into the wonderful days of summer, we hope you will mark your calendar to join hundreds of educators on Tuesday, Nov. 18 in Worcester at our 10th Annual Educator's Forum, where you will be treated to a full day of presentations by experts in the field of educating students with Down syndrome. A range of stimulating workshops will bring to life the best practices for educating students with Down syndrome in an inclusive classroom.

 

This year's Keynote Speaker is Dr. Bill Henderson, the recently retired principal of the O'Hearn School in Dorchester, MA (which has been renamed the William W. Henderson Elementary Inclusion School). Dr. Henderson is a disability advocate and author, most recently, of  "The Blind Advantage: How Going Blind Made me a Stronger Principal and how Including Children with Disabilities Made the School Better for Everyone."  

 

This year's breakout sessions will mirror the content of our soon-to-be-released comprehensive Educator's Manual, "Meaningful Inclusion for Students with Down Syndrome - A Resource Guide for Elementary Educators" (see below)

 

Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more information!  

 

 

We are pleased to announce that our long-awaited education manual, titled "Meaningful Inclusion for Students with Down Syndrome - A Resource Guide for Elementary Educators", is heading to print and we anticipate copies becoming available for members over the summer. Stay connected for updates!
