2011 T21 Conference
Big Success!
This was Father's Joy's second year to co-sponsor "Trisomy 21: Down Syndrome in the 21st Century" ("T21"). T21 is a cutting edge conference specifically tailored for educators, medical professionals and parents of children with Down syndrome. In 2011 we added an extra session in each strand of the conference and included an academic modifications workshop. In spite of the freezing weather, we doubled turnout this year!
Other sponsors this year were Texas Childrens Hospital, Baylor College of Medicine, The Rise School of Houston, Greater Clear Lake Families Exploring Down Syndrome, and Down Syndrome Association of Houston. Special thanks to all our wonderful speakers (especially those who traveled in the freezing weather) for helping to make this year's T21 Conference a big success!
Thanks also to The Church of St. John the Divine for all their help this year and to our volunteers for all their hard work and support! We couldn't do it without you!
