It's often with mixed emotions that we send our children off to school - THEY are ready to conquer those big milestones, but sometimes we as parents or guardians aren't quite ready to let go.
That feeling can feel even stronger as we send our loved ones with Down syndrome off to school each year. Will he make friends? Will the teachers be nice to her? How will the administrators know what supports he needs?
Set your loved one (and yourself!) up for success in school with DSA's developmentally appropriate programs and resources specifically designed for the child with Down syndrome.
Understand the ins and outs of Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), how to encourage inclusion at school, and other school-aged topics by attending or viewing a recorded session of the Down Syndrome Education Series. And don't forget to sign up for programming like Kids Connect, iCan Bike, Summer Camps, and more!
