Peer PresentationsInclusion is important for our kids, but often times other students don't know much about the condition. A peer presentation on their level can help them to gain a better understanding so they can interact comfortably with a student who has Down syndrome. We are available to help train you to do your own peer presentation, or possibly even present at your child's school. Educational Scholarshipscan be applied for by any family in the Nebraska Down syndrome community who has chosen to connect with us and can to be used to help offset of the costs of attending a local or national educational conference. Scholarships will be available each calendar year until the funding budget is depleted. To apply for a scholarship click here.
