Abstract

We know that individuals with Down syndrome are social beings and want to have healthy relationships. This is a skill they need to learn as it may not be inherent. In this session, parents and caregivers will learn about topics that should be addressed and how to talk about them. Resources will be shared including visual supports, books, and free online resources.
