| What is the Learning
Program? DSF has partnered with Down Syndrome Education International, Down Syndrome Education USA, educators, therapists and administrators to develop a program that uses effective teaching strategies and customized materials to support families in the educational process. The Learning Program complements formal instruction in literacy and math, with occupational and speech therapy components. Although there are a variety of delivery models, most groups offering
The Learning Program provide monthly instructional sessions for
parents and children on a range of educational topics and distribute
home-use materials. |
How does a group become
a Learning Program partner? Generally, a group representative approaches us to discuss establishing a local Learning Program. If we determine that the group has the structure and capacity to deliver the program successfully, we invite the group to become a partner. If not, we recommend alternative educational support models for that group. What alternative educational support models do you recommend? The answer depends on the specific needs of each group, but we have over 5,500 registered users of Learning Program materials, most using the materials outside the context of formal delivery of The Learning Program™ as a partner. Parents, educators and therapists use the materials with individual students in homes, classrooms and centers. Groups host literacy and math seminars that include instruction on material use. Some groups hire teachers to deliver instruction on education and use of Learning Program materials. Delivery of The Learning Program™ as a partner is only one of many educational support options.
