Partners in Education

---

 Down Syndrome Partners in Education is a partnership between the Down Syndrome Foundation of Florida and the surrounding eight counties. Each county is represented by a group of individuals who act as the 'Down Syndrome Specialist' for their county. We collaborate quarterly to provide resources and tools to promote success in the school environment.  
Some of the ways we help teachers and school personnel include: 

• provide training and workshops so teachers feel supported
• present peer presentations on Down syndrome
• present school-wide workshops on Down syndrome
• provide tutoring services
• circulate resources

The current partners include: Brevard, Catholic Diocese, FDLRS, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Polk, Seminole, Sumter, Toni Jennings Exceptional Education Institute at UCF, Volusia, and UCP
