We’re talking about a not-so-fun part of summer today.. summer school! Specifically, extended school year (ESY) for our children with Down syndrome.

• What is extended school year? Is it necessary?
• Are our kids in ESY this summer?
• Will our kids regress if they don’t go to summer school? Or is traveling/playing throughout the summer also a beneficial learning opportunity?

This is an interesting conversation about what it means to be a student with a disability, why inclusion during the school year is an important set-up for summer success, and how privilege plays a role in all of this. We think you’ll learn a lot from this episode, friends. Enjoy!
