Major Activities

Activity 2

Education: The Global Down Syndrome Educational Series was launched in 2006 and brings nationally and internationally recognized Down syndrome experts to Colorado for two full days of lectures. The first day is designed for parents and care-givers and the second for professionals who impact the lives of individuals who have Down syndrome. Topics focus on accurate and updated medical, educational, and therapeutic best practices. Two events were held during 2012.

Activity 3

Other Program: Prior to its formal establishment in 2009, the Global Down Syndrome Foundation launched several programs through the Down Syndrome Educational Fund. Today the series is incorporated into a larger base of programs that make up a key component of the Foundation's work. The goal of the Foundation's programs is to provide the highest quality activities and education to people with Down syndrome and their families. It is also to learn from programs launched by other organizations, and, in turn, encourage and help others to launch similar programs. Finally, it is to make sure that people with Down syndrome have the opportunity to have fun, gain confidence, excel and reach their potential.
