Thank you to all who participated in "Breaking Down Barriers"
Please keep checking back for Spring PDA Events and Updates

Click here for pictures for this year's conference!
The second-annual PDA conference, co-hosted by Princeton University Class of 2010 will be held on Sunday, November 23. This year, PDA is inviting families with children with Down Syndrome. The 2008 theme is education and we will host speakers, workshops and exhibitors on topics including Early Intervention, Inclusion, Post-Secondary Education, and Creating an IEP. Speakers are not yet finalized, so any suggestions and contacts are greatly appreciated.

During the conference, all children with Down Syndrome under the age of 21 (and interested siblings) will attend a carnival with a personal Princeton University student volunteer. The carnival will host a variety of activities including a scavenger hunt, sports, interactive stories and games, and other stations run by Princeton student groups. Volunteer to child ratios will be as low as one-to-one. All volunteers will be trained and will receive individual information on their specific child for the day. There will also be a nursery for all children under the age of 2.

Complimentary brunch and dinner will be provided for all attendees. Dinner will include performances from Princeton student groups. Registration is now closed.
