Workshop Speakers

The NDSC has gathered experts on important facets of Down syndrome from around the world for the 2008 convention. No matter where you are in your passage, no matter what the challenge, you can meet and learn from those on the cutting edge of early childhood and K-12 education, supported employment, financial planning and so very much more. The speakers listed are those confirmed at time of printing. You will find the most up-to-date list by going on line to www.ndsccenter.org/news/events.php.

In addition, all of this year’s Pre-Conference speakers will present workshops on Saturday and Sunday.
