Training for Schools

We offer an initial one hour Staff Meeting, to raise awareness of the issues Down Syndrome brings for a child in relation to their school and their education. This session outlines the specific learning profile and provides practical strategies for overcoming barriers to learning. This opportunity enables the school and the trainer to look at other more specific needs the school may have and to plan for future training should it be needed. There will be an opportunity to ask questions at the end of this training.

A one hour session for professionals supporting pupils with Down Syndrome. We will look at the possible triggers for behaviours and practical ideas for making a positive change. This training is based on the book ‘Supporting Positive Behaviour in Children and Teens with Down Syndrome’ by David Stein.

Our experienced team can offer training on the best way to support reading and language using the evidenced-based ‘See and Learn’ programmes, produced by Down Syndrome Education International.

To help include individual pupils and meet their educational needs we can offer half-day support. This will include

• An observation of the pupil in the class.
• A written record of the visit with recommendations and advice.
• Verbal feedback and advice to key staff on possible strategies and materials to use.
