SPEAK

Thursday, October 24th

12:00-1:00PM on Zoom

SPEAK (Sessions Promoting Education, Advocacy, and Knowledge) is a free monthly educational program for parents, community members, educators, and professionals. A Zoom link will be sent out three days before the event. This month, Katie Frank will be presenting on "Supporting Healthy Sexuality for your Loved One with Down Syndrome". We know that individuals with Down syndrome are social beings and want to have healthy relationships. This is a skill they need to learn as it may not be inherent. In this session, participants will learn about why it is important to teach sexuality education, what topics that should be addressed, and how to talk about them. Resources will also be shared including visual supports in addition to books and free online resources. Please register at SPEAK.
