NDSS WEBINAR - "How You Can Help Us Pass the ABLE Act Today."

NDSS WEBINAR MAY 22 @ 7 PM ET

"How You Can Help Us Pass the ABLE Act Today."

In May, NDSS will co-host a webinar with Dads Appreciating Down Syndrome (D.A.D.S.) National titled "How You Can Help Us Pass the ABLE Act Today." The webinar will be on Tuesday, May 22 at 7:00 PM ET. The Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act (S. 1872/HR 3423), when passed into law, will provide individuals with Down syndrome and their families the same types of flexible savings tools that all other Americans have through college savings accounts, health savings accounts and individual retirement accounts.

Speakers will include Steve Beck, NDSS Board Member and VP of the Down Syndrome Association of Northern Virginia; Joe Meares, D.A.D.S. National Chair; Sara Hart Weir, NDSS VP of Advocacy and Affiliate Relations and Darin Yoder, D.A.D.S. National - National Public Policy Advisor. The Down syndrome community has a real chance at getting the ABLE Act signed into law this year but we still need your help! Participate in this webinar and learn how you can do your part to pass this bill today.

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.
