Susan Fawcett has been the head Speech-Language Pathologist at the Down Syndrome Research Foundation since 2003. She is currently doing her PhD at UBC in the Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology, and Special Education. Susan will be presenting on Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) for people with Down syndrome. She will outline the reasons why individuals engage in problem behaviour, and will give several universal PBS strategies that are most often effective for improving the behaviour of people with DS. As a support group, parents get together on a monthly basis to chat, discuss, connect, and generally support one another with knowledge and ideas to help us through certain challenges of raising a child with special needs. Join us for a casual evening and meet other parents from our community. You are welcome to check out our Lending Library for any resources you may find helpful and interesting. Refreshments will be served.
Thank you for your interest. Registration is now CLOSED.
The Down Syndrome Centre is supported by a grant from the Abbotsford Community Foundation Smart & Caring Community Fund
