Early Intervention Sessions: 0-2 years (Babies)

These social and communication groups are open to all families with children aged from 0 - 2 years old. The groups will be taught in blocks of six sessions and led by 21 Together’s Education team and are aimed at teaching key skills such as; Makaton signing, interaction techniques, early physical skills and emotional support, as well as a chance to socialise with other parents/carers.

Sessions are designed to work on the strengths and weaknesses of the learning profile of a baby with Down’s syndrome and allow the families to ask questions and receive syndrome-specific advice and support.

Groups run every Monday for 6 weeks.

Time: 11:15-12:15 (Sessions will be 1 hour long.)

Venue: The Wonderworks, Westwood Industrial Estate, Westwood, Margate, CT9 4JX

Cost: Sessions cost £10 each payable at the start of the programme (£60 in total). If you feel for whatever reason that this cost would mean a young person could not attend, we would urge you to contact us as we have financial support available to those that need it.

Early Intervention Sessions: 7-11 years (Juniors)

Speech and language groups focussed on social communication for children with Down’s syndrome who require small group work.

They are speech therapy-led groups with an emphasis on social skills, conversations, friendships, and relationships. The groups provide additional support for children and young people to build self-awareness, awareness of others and socially appropriate behaviour.

The groups are designed to complement the individualised speech programmes that children and young people will already have running. Each term is topic-based and allows children and young people to explore each topic in a fun and inclusive environment. Topics include things like; all about me, relationships, community, time, language for identity and transitions.

Groups run every other Saturday (excluding school holidays) from 21.09.24 - 14.12.24 for Term 1.

Time: 09:00-17:00 (Sessions will be 1 hour long. Your session time will be confirmed by email.)
