DSANV

We are now accepting applications to the 2010-2011 Learning Program, an educational program that teaches parents to be effective "first-teachers" for their children with Down syndrome and prepares children for success in school.  DSANV's Education Committee led a pilot version of this program in 2009-2010, and are pleased to continue with a full program this coming school year.

Members of DSANV are encouraged to apply for our DSANV scholarships, camperships and durable medical goods programs. The 2010 applications were mailed to all members in the Spring and are attached here for your convenience.
