course details

Introduction to Down syndrome for early years and primary school with Laura Hempel and Mel Dekker The course introduces Down syndrome to people who have little experience of working with children with Down syndrome and covers society’s view of Down syndrome, health implications, strengths and weaknesses in the classroom and outlines ways to address the specific learning needs and manage behaviours. · Excellent course, very informative. I feel more confident in going back to school and including the little girl we have with Down syndrome in class · A real awareness raiser. It reminded me of the purpose and strength of inclusion. · I would highly recommend ALL support services and schools undertake this training.
