DSL Training Events

Our association provides parents, carers and professionals with important information during our training events to enable barriers to learning to be minimized for young people and adults with Down Syndrome.

Our training events were originally put in place after concerns were expressed by both Down's Syndrome Liverpool and SENISS, about how children and young people with Down Syndrome in Liverpool’s mainstream schools could best be supported. 


 Initially, several meetings were held between DSL and SENISS it was agreed that working together would be the best approach to this.

 DSL had obvious links to the National Down Syndrome Association and the expertise of their trainers. SENISS had access to the resources of the local authority. 


DSL provides the funding for the trainers and worked with the National Down Syndrome Association to put together a training programmes for Educational Support Assistants. 


Some of the workshops to give practical advice were the following areas: 


 Aspects around Numeracy 

Promoting Age Appropriate Behaviour

 Speech Language  and Communication

Reading and Writing Primary

 Promoting Positive Behaviour 

Transition to Secondary School 

 

Feedback from training events have been extremely positive.
