The Lucky Few

174. Learning About the Down Syndrome Learning Profile! (ft. Jessica Kuss from the National DS Society)


Listen Later

We know that going #BackToSchool isn’t always easy.. so we’re here to support you! We have Jessica Kuss (the Senior Manager of Education Programs for the National Down Syndrome Society - no big deal right!) on today’s episode. She is a mother of 2 (including a son with DS) + a former special educator! Jessica was even part of the team at NDSS who just released the Inclusive Education Guidelines, a document FULL of relevant info for parents and educators. Today, we’re chatting all about what’s inside this document.. everything from the Down syndrome learning profile (knowing about this is a game changer) to the gaps in our IDEA laws, and what on earth we should do with all this info! Who’s ready to rock this #BackToSchool season with us?? (You will be after this episode!)

(Special thank you to the team at NDSS for sharing their resources and lovely staff members with us! Be on the look out for more collaboration episodes with them coming very soon!)
