Welcome to our Communication Group!
The Communication Group aims to support children with Down’s Syndrome and their families. Parents, grandparents, carers, friends and their children meet weekly at:
Scartho Children’s Centre
(in the grounds of Fairfield Academy)
Mendip Avenue
DN33 3AE
on Wednesday afternoons between 12:30pm and 2:30pm during school term time.
We also have monthly visits from our private Speech and Language Therapist (SaLT) who works on group activities and personalised programmes for our children.

Our aim is to develop the skills our children will need to become fully integrated members of society.
We would like to develop the group by further extending current activities, which are based on an understanding of the specific learning profile of children with Down’s Syndrome, to ease the childrens’ transition into school. By focussing on signing, language development, reading, numeracy and social interaction, the children can learn effectively, going on to read, write and access the rest of the school curriculum. Accessing suitable training and current knowledge of the child's attainment would be an essential part of aiding their smooth transition into pre-school and full time mainstream settings.
