Together 21
Together 21 provides a wide range of fun learning activities to help children and young people from birth to 17 years old with Down syndrome to develop key skills.
The activities provide the opportunity to build friendships within peer groups as well as support their development in reaching their full potential. This is a chance for parents to get to know each other, providing a vital friendship and peer support network for families.
As the service provides training sessions for parents and their wider family throughout the year.
Our sessions are fun-packed, delivered in small groups with parents present. They are designed to support each child’s development and are tailored to individual need. Some of the areas we cover include:
-
Fine and Gross motor skills (motor skills are movements and actions of the muscles)
-
Life skills and positive behaviours
