Down Syndrome Education Conferences offer a complete programme of keynotes and breakout
sessions, offering up-to-date information and practical advice for education and
healthcare professionals and families supporting young people with Down syndrome.
Down Syndrome Education Conferences provide a comprehensive programme with age-specific
tracks covering motor, cognitive, social, language, literacy and numeracy development
from birth to late adolescence.
Days 1 and 2 - In Depth Tracks
Targeted in depth training over two days
During the first two days, each Education Conference provides a series of
In Depth Tracks ideally suited to professionals providing care and support
for children with Down syndrome.
There are separate In Depth Tracks for providing detailed information for professionals
working with children with Down syndrome during their
early years (from birth-5 years of age), later
childhood (from 5-11 years of age) and
adolescence (from 11-16 years of age). These tracks are also suitable
for parents seeking more detailed information and guidance. We also offer
a specific track for Speech and Language
professionals.
Day 3 - Essentials Tracks
Essential information and guidance in one day
During the third day, each Conference provides a series of
Essentials Tracks particularly suitable for families caring for children
with Down syndrome during their early years
(from birth-5 years of age), later childhood
(from 5-11 years of age) and adolescence
(from 11-16 years of age). These Essentials Tracks are also suitable for professionals
seeking key information.
