Hi there,
I was in contact with you before Chrismtas with regards to Skip for SKIP
- a skipping event that The Down Syndrome Centre is running with
schools across Ireland and I just wanted to check in with you to see if
this event is something your school would be interested in hosting?
SKIP is one of the many vital intervention services we provide in The Down
<http://www.downsyndromecentre.ie/>Syndrome Centre
<http://www.downsyndromecentre.ie/>. SKIP (which stands for Special Kids'
Intervention Programme) aims to get young children with Down syndrome ready
to attend mainstream schools. Each SKIP session targets all areas of each
child’s development such as speech and language, fine motor skills, gross
motor skills and most of all social skills. These skills allow each child
to make friends, participate fully in class and live a more independent
life.
We’re asking schools and community groups to support our SKIP programme
by hosting a skipathon before the end of the academic year (whenever
suits you!). Down syndrome is usually caused by a duplication of the
21st Chromosome so we’re asking students to skip for 21 minutes either on
their own or as part of a team and to collect sponsorship for their
efforts.Many
schools have chosen to take part as part of the active flag application.
If you'd like more information about this event contact me on (01) 661 8000
or by responding to this email.
Many thanks,
Aileen
