Six week behaviour course for parents and carers of children with Down syndrome (school staff welcome) This course runs over 2 hours a week for 6 weeks. Thursday 1st, 8th, 15, 22nd May, Friday 6th June and Thursday 12th June 2025, 9.30am to 11.30am each day PLACES LIMITED TO 7 FAMILIES (team around a child) The course will cover an overview of the learning profile of a child with Down syndrome looking at how difficult behaviours may develop. Parents/school staff will then be encouraged to focus on a specific behaviour they wish to modify and we will develop personal positive behaviour strategies to work on wanted behaviours. Methods to develop self help skills using task analysis will also be taught and each week opportunities will be offered to discuss progress and learn from each other. School staff working with the child are welcome to come along and be involved in the session in a bid to provide a consistent approach.
