Down Syndrome Education

Alliance & Communication

Readiness Program

DSCBA had another successful year implementing the Down Syndrome Education
Alliance (DSEA) and the Communication Readiness Program (CRP). In fact, the two
programs are working more closely with each other, as our education director is
working with administrators at the schools attended by students who participated in the
summer CRP. We scheduled teacher trainings and workshops such as Road to Success,
Accommodations & Modifications, Motivating Independence, and Inclusive Education &
Strategies to Support It. Last year, through all of these workshops, the DSEA team reached
more than 550 educators and parents, along with more than 2,500 students through our
continuing Ability Awareness presentations. These workshops and presentations can help
change the culture schoolwide to support inclusion and accommodation strategies for
children with disabilities.

presentations to 2,584 workshops to 561
