Supporting children with
Down Syndrome in an
education setting
DS Achieve is pleased to offer a two-day training event for both professionals and parents/carers. The course is for professionals working with children with Down Syndrome aged 4-16 years in both mainstream and special schools.
Parents/carers will find the content useful in supporting their child at home and when working alongside school staff. The training will be delivered by Helen Long, SENCO and Specialist Advisory Teacher for children with Down
Syndrome.
The course content assumes that delegates will have some
prior knowledge and experience of working with children with Down
Syndrome. Refresher pre-reading will be supplied.
The style of the training will allow for detailed discussion of a small number of topics with opportunity for problem solving. It is expected that
delegates will attend both days and they will be able to ask for help and advice arising from implementing the learning from Day 1 during Day 2.
