Research Regarding Fluency in Children with Down Syndrome

Below is a link to a questionnaire about reading instruction in Connecticut students with Down syndrome. It is completely anonymous.  It will take 5 minutes or less. Please consider filling out the survey and forwarding the link to anyone you know who has a child with DS in CT. And, if you would like your child to participate in our study, please send me a separate message by email to [email protected] Children who participated in the pilot are eligible to participate in the study.

Thanks so much! Here is the link: http://www.facebook.com/l/7e0d5;www.surveymonkey.com/s/8FBJM99   Kathleen Whitbread Professor of Special Education at St. Joseph College

​Lumind 
The mission of the LuMind Research Down Syndrome Foundation is to stimulate biomedical research that will accelerate the development of treatments to significantly improve cognition, including memory, learning and speech, for individuals with Down syndrome so they:
• participate more successfully in school
• lead more active and independent lives, and
• avoid the early onset of Alzheimer’s Disease.

Global Down Syndrome Foundation
The Global Down Syndrome Foundation is a public non-profit 501(c)(3) dedicated to significantly improving the lives of people with Down syndrome through Research, Medical Care, Education and Advocacy. Formally established in 2009, Global’s primary focus is to support the Linda Crnic Institute for Down Syndrome, the first academic home in the United States committed solely to research and medical care for people with Down syndrome. Since Down syndrome is the least-funded genetic condition in the United States, fundraising and government advocacy to correct the alarming disparity of national funding for people with Down syndrome is a major goal.
​

The Global Down Syndrome Foundation created and organizes the Be Beautiful Be Yourself Fashion Show – the single-largest annual fundraiser benefiting people with Down syndrome. Global organizes and funds many programs, conferences and grants, including Dare to Play Football Camp with Ed McCaffrey, Denver Broncos Cheerleaders Dare to Cheer Camp, Junior Denver Broncos Cheerleaders Dare to Cheer Program, Be Beautiful Be Yourself Hollywood Ball and the Global Down Syndrome Foundation Educational Grants.
