Description

In this week's edition of Universal Learning, I’m talking to Sue Blackwell, who co-founded the charity DanceSyndrome with her daughter Jen. Jen has Down’s Syndrome and DanceSyndrome’s mission is to empower learning-disabled individuals like Jen through inclusive dance classes and other activities. We talk about the impact of discovering that your newborn baby has Down's Syndrome, the challenges Jen's family faced to provide her with a nurturing education, and how DanceSyndrome was founded through necessity as nothing else like it really existed at the time.
