This unique conference offers practical, research-based strategies that general and special education teachers can immediately implement to support students with intellectual disabilities, including Down syndrome.
What’s even more exciting… DelcoDSIG is looking to SPONSOR FIVE Delco teachers. We will cover the entire registration fee for five teachers in our area.
What you can do…. Share this flyer and sponsorship application link with your child’s special education teacher. The more teachers we can get to this conference, the more support our members’ teachers have to work with our community now and in the future!
All applications must be received by Monday, December 2, 2024, to be eligible for the DSIG sponsorship.
