The iCan Shine Bike Camp will once again be coming to our area this year. This camp is a wonderful experience for your child or young adult to learn how to ride a 2-wheel bike. This program has been attended by many of our members who now know how to ride a 2-wheel bike independently.
When: June 22-26, 2015
Where: Notre Dame Academy in Villanova, PA
Please see the flier in the link below for the details of the camp.
If you are a paid member of DSIG and your child completes the full week of camp, you will reimbursed by DSIG for the cost of the camp after completion of the camp.
You must be at least 8 years of age to attend and must meet the criteria that is listed on the iCan Shine website at www.icanshine.org. I encourage you to visit their website for information and videos on the iCan Bike Camps.

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.
