DS CEN working group around guidance for SLTs and Down syndrome meetings
Weds 15th May

The aim of this group is to develop guidance for speech and language therapists that is specific to working with children and adults who have Down syndrome. One of the main themes to come out of the relaunch of the Down Syndrome CEN was that members want information on evidence-based practice and research. This group is focussing on the possibilities and options of how to develop ways of providing this information for SLTs. Please do come along to the meetings and join this group in developing guidance.
