Down Syndrome Education Conference
The Down Syndrome Education Conference Dublin 2010 offers information and practical advice to help
parents and professionals provide the most effective education, therapy, care and support for children and
young people with Down syndrome.
Expert training for families and professionals presented by experts from Down Syndrome Education International, this conference provides up-to-date guidance on language, literacy, numeracy
and social development from birth to adolescence.
It will be presented using Targeted ‘Essentials’ and ‘In Depth’ Tracks.
Targeted one-day and two-day tracks share evidence-based teaching techniques for preschool, childhood and adolescent years. One-day ‘Essentials’ Tracks provide information particularly suitable for families.
