DSF and the NDSC Center for Educational Excellence are pleased to invite you to participate in LP Online™ 2016-2017. LP Online™ is an online learning community based on The Learning Program™ and serves as a platform for sharing strategies, resources and activities to improve academic outcomes for students with Down syndrome. LP Online™ equips participants with knowledge and tools to work effectively with students with Down syndrome in home and school settings. For more information, visit www.dsfoc.org.

LP Online™ consists of ten sessions from The Learning Program's™ face to face program (LP Onsite™) offered through webinars in live and recorded formats. LP Online™ sessions support development of reading, comprehension and math skills, and address general topics related to accessing curriculum, fostering independence and memory. Sessions are geared towards supporting parents in the educational process, but administrators, teachers and therapists are welcome to join.

Level choice depends on the developmental stage of each student, but generally:
Level 1 is appropriate for students in preschool through 1st grade (ages 3-5)
Level 2 is appropriate for students in 2nd or 3rd grade (ages 6-8)
Level 3 is appropriate for students in 4th through 6th grade (ages 9-12)
If you have a question about which level to choose, please contact us at info@dsfoc.org.

PROGRAM DATES/TIMES:
Sessions last approximately 1.5 hours. If you cannot attend a live session, you will have access to its recording for the duration of the program year. Dates and times are accessible through the DSF calendar.

Note: Program dates/times are subject to change with reasonable notice, but sessions will always be available in live and recorded formats.

Tuition is $200 for 10 sessions ($20 per month) and includes access to monthly live and recorded webinar presentations, membership to the LP Online™ website (which houses handouts, recording links and videos) and membership to the Learning Program Facebook Group. Depending on Level, recommended literacy and math materials are available either for purchase through DSF’s online store at a discounted rate, for free download and do-it-yourself print/assembly through DSF’s website or from third-party vendors at vendor rates.

Note: If you are already participating in LP Onsite™ through one of our 22 Learning Program Partners nationwide, LP Online™ sessions will cover the same course content.

Please contact us at info@dsfoc.org if you have questions or need to make alternative financial arrangements. Limited scholarships are available. We look forward to working with you!
