🍦Ice Cream Fundays Is Back🍦
This June 15th – 21st, we are asking you to gather your family, friends, and colleagues to host an Ice Cream Fundays party, with donations supporting our Early Years department.
Early stages are a crucial time for children’s development. During this stage, children begin building essential skills in movement, communication, learning, play, social interaction, and independence.
Children with Down syndrome may take longer to reach certain milestones, and early intervention plays a key role in supporting their growth and helping them succeed.
At Down Syndrome Ireland, we provide a network of early intervention supports for families of children from birth to seven years of age, including Speech and Language Therapy, baby and parent groups, Lámh support, and more.
