Fascinating links between sensory reactivity differences and mental health symptoms presented by Teresa Tavassoli at today's Down Syndrome Clinical Excellence Network meeting on 'Dual Diagnosis'

Thank you Debbie Austin for sharing experiences of "living a 'Positive Behaviour Support' life" Down Syndrome Clinical Excellence Network starting from strengths, moving from "how do I stop you?" to "how do I help you?" & creating 'capable environments' to lower arousal levels so learning is possible

'When sensory is part of the picture' - great insights for practice from OT Ashleigh Dick Down Syndrome Clinical Excellence Network - considering the sensory implications of the environment and the activity in the context of sensory reactivity at an individual level is crucial

Thank you to our fantastic speakers Teresa Tavassoli Debbie Austin and Ashleigh Dick at our Down Syndrome Clinical Excellence Network event on Dual Diagnosis today. Save the date! The Autumn term online members’ meeting will take place on Thursday 16th November from 13:00 – 15:00
