success in school course
We present our “Success in School: helping children who learn differently” course twice a year. Bookings are now open for our August course.
This is a 2-day course for SENCO’s, teachers, teacher aides, specialist staff, occupational therapists and parent educators and involves a variety of presenters including Dr Jude MacArthur. Each day starts at 8.30am and finishes at approximately 3.45pm.
Previously called Down Syndrome: Success in School, in 2020 we renamed and designed the course to appeal to people who teach or care for any children who ‘learn differently’ and not just those children with Down syndrome.
Welcome!
We are here to help families and carers at all stages. You may have a new baby, or care for an adult with Down syndrome.
