Are you tired of the snow and cold weather? Well join us for the Welcome to Spring Event!
Join us for a much needed welcome to spring at Linvilla Orchards on Sunday, April 13th at 10:45am. The day will begin with a private hayride to Bunnyland, followed by an egg hunt in the field. This event is completely outdoors so please dress appropriately. DSIG will not be offering food at this event, but families are encouraged to pack a lunch and eat together in the picnic area.
In an effort to build awareness, DSIG invites you to extend this invitation to your family and friends. The more the merrier!!!!! You are REQUIRED to RSVP for this free event. Please call Megan Califano at 484-472-8347 or at [email protected]. Reservations will only be accepted up until Thursday, April 10th at noon. We’re sorry but we cannot accept any late registrations as we need to ensure there are enough eggs and candy for all kids.
Thank you!
We are looking for a few (4 or 5) people to help us with this event, assist with minimal setup or cleanup, stay behind and “hide” the eggs while everyone is on the hayride, assist the kids with a craft project or two. Please let Megan know if you are interested in volunteering for this event.

March 21st also happens to be World Down Syndrome Day, so make sure you are rockin’ your crazy mismatched socks that day. If someone asks you about your socks, you can then take that opportunity to tell them about someone that you love who has Down Syndrome! If you are a member of the DSIG FB Page, we’d love to see pictures of you and your family rockin’ your socks!

Need Help Navigating the Special Education System?
Does your head spin when you sit in IEP or IFSP meetings? Does it sound like they’re speaking a foreign language? What does inclusion mean for my child? Come to the October 22 meeting to hear discussions on these and other topics. Focus is on children who are age preschool to 21. Linda Cartwright, Parent Consult from the Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network (PaTTAN) and mother of a son with Down syndrome, will introduce resources to families that help them be the best advocates for their children. Topics include: HELP, this is too overwhelming!; understanding your rights under the federal and state regulations of special education; how to navigate the PaTTAN website and other resources for families; how you can attend educational trainings for free; and introducing a newly-formed statewide parent network. Linda will give a brief presentation, followed by a Q&A. For information about PaTTAN, visit http://www.pattan.net.
*Child care will be available.
