Further update from Down’s Syndrome Scotland
Date: 27th March 2020
We hope everyone is managing to stay safe and well in these really difficult times.
We are making further contact to remind you that we are here for you all, at this turbulent time. Over the next week we will be reaching out to more families through online channels and also by phone. In addition, we will also launch a series of sing-and-sign videos and we’ll explain our new ABC at Home programme and how you can access sessions with us. We want you to stay in touch with us as much as possible and, we are here for you, as and when you need us.
We will soon be launching a new online platform to provide support for families at this time. It’s a self-help forum for families who might simply want to stay in touch with other families and with Down’s Syndrome Scotland throughout this challenging period.
