EDUCATOR PACKAGES - FOR FAMILIES WITH A CHILD IN SCHOOL
COST: Non Members - $6.00 minimum donation | Current Members - $ FREE
The new school year has begun! The Canadian Down Syndrome Society (CDSS) has created an Educator Package which features information on inclusive education, tips on how to best support students with Down syndrome and real life stories of inclusion. It is a resource you will want if you have school aged children.
The DDSA has donated $4,000.00 to the CDSS to print and support it's current membership with these books. As a thank you, the CDSS has added the DDSA Logo to the front of the book.
The DDSA now has these guides available to be picked up from some of the current Board Directors on Sunday, September 22 from 6-8pm. After that date, these books are orderable from this page.
If you would like one of these guides, please contact the DDSA Board member below in your area. Please note, if you are not a current member, you may sign up at the pick up location instead of having to make a donation for the book.
