January News for You!

Down Syndrome Innovations offers services and supports at every age and stage to help your teen grow and thrive.

This monthly newsletter is created for you and your family!

Our Winter Programming begins next week!

We are offering two sessions: a 5:00 to 6:00 pm or a 6:15 to 7:15pm.

These groups will offer a variety of activities, all with an overarching emphasis on developing in-person social skills and spending time with peers of the same age.

Please note: out of caution, each in-person group session will be capped at 15 teens. If your desired session is full, you will be added to a waitlist and contacted in the event of an opening.

NOTE: due to the generous support of our donors, these events are complimentary/free for our families

Be Sure to Sign Up for our Virtual Teen Social Groups!

(Online)

Hosted on Wednesdays from 5:15 - 6 pm, this weekly virtual social group will be a supervised Zoom meeting when teens have the opportunity to interact and get to know their peers, as well as take breaks with songs and games. 

*Zoom links will be sent to all registered email addresses the morning of each scheduled virtual social group.

NOTE: due to the generous support of our donors, these events are complimentary/free for our families
