Our first webinar will be on Saturday, May 1, 2021 at 10am PST.  Please join us as Terri presents information regarding the “Top 5 Issues and Concerns During Puberty”.

Webinar description:  Families often experience anxiety when their son or daughter with Down syndrome or intellectual/developmental disabilities begins to exhibit changes that occur during puberty. In this workshop, Terri will explain about the most frequently identified issues and concerns that parents of tweens have and practical ways to address them. Ideas for teaching, home activities, and useful resources specifically designed for individuals with intellectual disabilities (I/DD) will be shared.
