Welcome! We are looking for dedicated parents and professionals to help support individualized paths for optimal growth and development for our children, without discrimination.
Come to 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.
The conference will be from approximately 8 AM-5:30 PM on Friday and Saturday with lunch provided. Elyse Mundelein, Zumba instructor/adult with DS will lead us in fun movement breaks. You'll also have plenty of time to check out the booths in the exhibit area that support these innovative strategies.
