Downsed web seminars PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 03 December 2009 Written by Jason Vine

Downs Ed have just announced they are running a series of Web Seminars in the new year, covering specific areas of education and development within three age groups - birth to 5 years, 5 to 11 years and 11 to 16 years. Specialist sessions are also available on speech and language development.

Aimed at both families and professionals/teachers supporting a child with Down's Syndrome, each seminar lasts 90 minutes with a live presentation and interactive discussion with expert presenters.

A course of 10 seminars will cost £240, but if you book by the 31st December, this will be reduced to £192.

Alternatively, individual seminars can be booked at a cost of £30 each, but if you book by 31st December, the price will be reduced to £24.

So as to reach as many professionals as possible, the seminars are deliberately being run during the school week at 1.30pm and 4pm so that teachers can fit them into their day. If you've experienced difficulty getting your child's school to attend one of our education days, this might be a good solution!
