Sunshine & Smiles held a TA Forum for teaching assistants who support children with Down syndrome.
This meeting took place at 21 Co. Shop & Café in Headingley, and TA's from all over Leeds attended.
The Forum was a great opportunity to share experiences and hear different techniques.
When is the next one?

The session will be free of charge but there will be refreshments available to buy from the café.
