Primary School Series Workshops
Our Cork branch have developed a set of webinars specifically for those supporting a child with Down syndrome in primary schools. These webinars will be helpful for class teachers, special education teachers and SNA’s. There will be a focus on practical activities and strategies in these webinars. There are 5 in total, which are run by Speech and Language Therapists (SLT) and an Occupational Therapist (OT).
These webinars have been designed as a sequential course but can also be taken individually. Each webinar is 1 hour with time for questions at the end. A resource pack and a link to the recording will be sent to all attendees via email when the series concludes.
Primary school Series:
These workshops will be delivered live at the times below but a recording will be made available to all who sign up so they can be watched at your own time.
