Many children and young people with Down syndrome and other learning disabilities are able to master telling the time, using money and grasp the maths to support these skills. Often, however, they are not provided with the opportunity to learn these skills
to a level needed to bring independence. This course covers the topics of time and money from the very basics of days of the weeks and recognising coins through to telling any time and understanding the value of money and using it to buy everyday items.
It also covers place value, 3 digit numbers and the number skills that underpin time and money (counting in 5s, etc)

Time: This workshop will equip participants with a structured programme of activities and resources, developed and written by Wendy Uttley, to help them teach the passage of time and then how, step by step, to teach a child how to tell the
time.
Money: We will detail a programme written by Wendy Uttley which consists of 120 finely graded activities to help teach a person with Down syndrome or other learning disability to understand and use money. From the early stages of learning
the names for the coins to working with pounds and pence this programme is suitable to use with a child from approximately 5 years of age.
COST: £80 per professional (£20 for a second person from the same school) /£20 per family member.
