Down’s Syndrome

I have many years of working with people with down syndrome in many different areas. I worked for four years as the main therapist accompanying a class of girls with down syndrome integrated in a regular school. I initiated and helped run weekly staff meetings focussing on the girls emotional needs and how to develop them in the classroom setting. I had bi-weekly individual, group and/or dyadic (session together with a parent) music therapy sessions with the girls.

Additionally I helped organise and run events in the group Yachad, integrating adults with special needs (many of whom had down syndrome) with the rest of the community.

I also worked in Etgar L’Noar as an assistant for a boy with down syndrome in a sunday school for children with special needs.
