DSACO

Summer vacation breaks the rhythm of instruction, leads to forgetting, and requires a significant amount of review of material when students return to school in the fall. DSACO is here to help! Our Columbus Academy is back, and new this year we are piloting two additional locations in Lancaster and Newark. Eight children with Down syndrome will be accepted into the program. This group will have the benefit of certified teachers, peer interaction and support personnel.
