Hands-on Education
Pathfinder's Village's Outreach Mission
The first part of the center's mission, hands-on education, was driven by requests to train college students and others, provide up-to-date information on all aspects of Down syndrome, and provide professionals with experience in working with people who have Down syndrome. Areas of service include: Conferences: One of the major contributions of the
Kennedy•Willis Center on Down Syndrome is providing conferences to
educate parents, professionals and students about various aspects of
Down syndrome. These conferences feature known experts in their
respective fields, convey accurate, current information, and allow
participants to gain access to an entire network of others who are
working towards similar goals.
Upcoming Workshops: Friday,
October 30, 2009 Thursday,
November 13, 2009 and Friday, November 14 , 2009 To learn more or register for either session, please contact the Center for details by e-mail or telephone (607) 965-8377 ext. 154.
Internships: At Pathfinder Village, we have found that nothing can match actual experience gained in the field. Through the years, and now through the Kennedy•Willis Center on Down Syndrome, we have assisted high school students, college and graduate-level students, and others from as far away as India in pursuing careers in human services. Through our internships in a variety of specialties, we have sent people into the world trained to know 'what works' in serving the needs of the developmentally disabled.
