The MDSC in collaboration with the 3-21 Foundation is pleased to present this timely webinar.

What is working memory? How does short-term and working memory affect the way students with Down syndrome learn? Join us to enhance your understanding, and learn home and classroom intervention strategies and activities that can be used right away to build and support memory.

Alex Lauric- Parent Educator

Alex’s interest in special education, inclusion, and strength-based learning strategies for children with intellectual disabilities started with the birth of her son in 2008. She is trained in special education policies and advocacy, and in inclusive practices for children with special needs and has completed the Parent Consultant Training Institute from the Federation for Children with Special Needs and the Family Leadership Series from Massachusetts Families Organizing for Change. Alex received her PhD degree in computer science from Tufts University and is engaged in her other capacity as a research scientist in neurosurgery imaging. She has been involved with the Learning Program Boston, the 3-21 Foundation’s parent-focused educational intervention program, since 2011 and enjoys the opportunity to connect with families as both an educator and parent.

*This event was rescheduled from March 12th due to rain. We look forward to seeing you on April 30th!

Teens and adults ages 13 + are invited to join us for an afternoon of s’more making, music, and lawn games at the beautiful Bradley Estate!

Hot chocolate, cider, and s’mores ingredients will be offered, but feel free to bring your own picnic lunch!

Space is limited for this event. In order to support as many self-advocates as possible, we ask that each registrant bring only one support person with them. To ensure safety, all self-advocates (individuals with Down syndrome) must be accompanied by a caregiver/support person.

Free to Attend!
