NEW DSRTF WEBINAR: TUESDAY FEB. 28th!

We are pleased to announce that Dr. William Mobley of the University of California, San Diego's Center for Down Syndrome Research and Treatment will be joining us for a webinar highlighting his work this coming Tuesday, February 28 at 10:00 AM PT/1:00 PM ET.

Please join us for a rare opportunity to hear directly from one of the most talented and dedicated researchers in the field of Down syndrome cognition research! We believe his work, and the funding of it through private sources, is even more imperative given the recent news about the nearly 10% reduction in federal funding for cognition research.

We hope time considerations will permit us to take questions from the audience. Please submit your questions for Dr. Mobley to dsrtf@dsrtf.org. We look forward to your participation.

PICKY EATERS!

Our next FREE Parent Seminar will be held on Thursday, March 1st at 7:00 pm, and is entitled “Picky Eaters.” During this session you will learn why kids can be picky eaters, what is typical, and strategies to address this concern. An occupational therapist will discuss strategies to help mealtime to be positive and successful for the whole family. The information presented will be applicable for kids of all ages. If you are interested in attending this seminar please call our office at 636-928-LEAP (5327) to reserve your spot.
