Parents filled the room on November 18th for the inaugural session of DSAOC’s new Healthcare Series. Dr. Ira Lott spoke to the group on the topic of Down Syndrome: A Link Between Development and Aging.
Stay tuned for more updates on these informative sessions focused on a wide variety of healthcare issues related to Down syndrome. The next one is scheduled for January 20th.
The DSAOC Partners in Education program connects educators, therapists, paraprofessionals, and school/district administrators with the training, resources, and support they need to help educate students with Down syndrome. During the past year, the program has been successful in establishing many of these connections at the district and SELPA level throughout Orange County.
We are now recruiting parents to assist in the outreach activities. Would you like to join us, or maybe just learn more about the effort?
Call the Center at 714-540-5794, or email sames@dsaoc.org to find out more.
