An Update on Down Syndrome: a DS NSW seminar

"An Update on Down Syndrome" is a professional development seminar for adult disability services workers.

Health and communication are two of the major issues impacting on the quality of life that people with Down syndrome can enjoy. Behaviour labelled as "challenging" is often a reflection of health and communication impairments - requiring health and communication solutions.

This seminar will be relevant to professionals working to support people with Down syndrome in residential, respite, recreation, and employment services, and to anyone who works closely with people with Down syndrome, wishing to update their knowledge. It is scheduled for 2 venues in May 2009:
