The Auckland Down Syndrome Association is a not-for-profit, membership-based association seeking to represent the needs and views of people in Auckland with Down syndrome and their families.
The Education Review Office has recently issued a report - Including Students With High Needs.
This is of great interest to us as an organisation and as individual families. We encourage you to read it and respond to ERO.
