Self Advocates and College

Do you dream about your son or daughter going to college when they graduate high school? You should! And DSI is here to introduce you to a few DSI Self Advocates who have attended college and want to tell you about their experiences.

Join the Down Syndrome Indiana Self Advocates as they discuss their college experiences on June 1st 2010 from 6pm to 8pm in the Marott Community Room at 2625 North Meridian Street, Indianapolis, IN 46208. Come hear about the programs they have attended, how they feel it has helped them in life and learn a little bit about the Indiana Postsecondary Education Coalition and what you can expect from the group in the future. Featured panelists currently include: Jessica Green, Joel Persinger, Kelley Schreiner, and Sarah Strouse with group moderation by Cindy Cobb.

No matter what age your child is now, this is a great meeting to attend so you can start setting your expectations high!

Please RSVP to register@dsindiana.org or call 925-7617 so we can order the right amount of food!

Please pass this info on….. If you know any Self Advocates who have attended a college program but that are not currently on the panel and would like to participate, please contact Lisa Tokarz-Gutierrez, Executive Director at lisa@dsindiana.org or call 317-925-7617 for more info.
