Downright Special Education

At Downright Special everything we do is based on an understanding of the specific learning profile of children with Down Syndrome. The children do not simply have the generalised learning delay often assumed. The good news is that if we use the correct strategies these children can learn effectively, going on to read, write and access the rest of the school curriculum.

Our Friday sessions are attended by children from birth through to Foundation Stage, with school-aged children being accompanied by their Teaching Assistants. Children are grouped according to their stage of development and the sessions incorporate all aspects of development.

The group runs on Friday mornings during term-time from 9.45am til 12 noon at Bodmin Road Church Playroom, Bransholme, Hull, HU7 4HE.

We focus on signing, language development, reading, speech therapy, numeracy and social interaction.
