The Down Syndrome-Autism Connection, an affiliate of MDSC, invites all families affected by Down syndrome and autism, including families who recently got an autism diagnosis, to join them for their regular Zoom chat the last Wednesday of every month at 8pm.
Now, to be able to serve families best, the DSAC is breaking out these monthly chats by age group — Up to 10, 11-17, and Over 18. With monthly meeting cycling through these three age groups, each cohort will now meet quarterly, from September to May. Mark your calendars!
The Meaningful Evaluation of Individuals with Unique and Complex Learning Profiles
February 26th, 2025
7-8:30pmET
This presentation will focus on the fact that all individuals are entitled to a meaningful and comprehensive evaluation, the results of which should guide their learning experiences. The presenter recognizes the limited resources available to educators and evaluators when working with low incidence populations so a creative, yet effective approach will be emphasized.
