Education of Children with Downs Syndrome

[Guest guest]

FYI--Looks like an excellent conference coming in April to Suffolk County.

Brought to us by the Downs Syndrome Advocacy Foundation. Many topics covered can

also apply to children with Autism. I've see Dr. Carr a couple of times, as

well as Joanne Gerenser from Eden 2, and have gained a lot from their

presentations. take care, Jennica
