[Guest guest]

Hi friends: You are receiving this email because you are somehow connected with special education, Down syndrome and me. After talking about it for years, I'm finally getting around to starting up that Nassau County Support Group for the families, friends and educators of loved ones with Down syndrome. That's why I'm forwarding the information below; hoping you'll join us on Tuesday, January 17th for our kick-off meeting... We've even managed to get Dr. Kathleen Feeley, recognized expert in educating children with Down syndrome, to talk with us--up close and personal--about research-based best practices. I've also attached a flier with the same information and ask that you share it with everyone you know that is involved in the upbringing

and/or education of a child/children with Down syndrome. Please share it with your own support network; your friends who have children with Down syndrome; your child's educators, therapists, aides and any of their classmates who may have Down syndrome; anyone who could benefit from participating in a hands-on, local forum like this:
