Down Syndrome Innovations Conference

DESCRIPTION

To watch the recording, simply login to events.com!

Are you tired of hearing: “That’s normal for Down syndrome?”

Do you feel that the low expectations from your physicians, therapists, and educational community is holding your child back?

Has your pediatrician run out of suggestions?

Would you like an action plan for your child that has been vetted by parents who have seen results?

Then this conference is for you!

Register to watch the recording today!

We meet at Homestead Hall, a charming refurbished farm at Hardison Mill, to hear dynamic practitioners, therapists, educators, and advocates share inspiration and innovative solutions to improve the health, cognition, sleep, and development of individuals with Down syndrome. Plus, enjoy heart-warming entertainment from our DS community including music from Rory Feek and a short, awarding-winning film, For Paloma written by April Aguilera, parent of a child with DS.

Or watch via Live Stream at your convenience.
