We are excited to offer reading tutoring again this summer for individuals with Down syndrome. There are 9 spots available, so if you want a spot, do not wait! Here are the details:
Who: Individuals with Down Syndrome
What: Tutoring in reading (we have a research-based program for Kindergarten through the 2nd-grade level, and then other great research-based materials for 3rd-grade level and above)
Where: EIDS Office- 1675 S Woodruff, Idaho Falls
When: 6-week session, Tuesdays and Thursdays, June 17th- July 24th. Sessions are 45 minutes long. They start at 5:15 pm, 6:00 pm, and 6:45 pm.
Why: We know that long breaks make it hard for our individuals with Down syndrome to retain all of their knowledge from the previous school year. We want to help bridge that gap.
Cost: $240 per child...we will contact you for payment once we get your registration
More Info: It will be required that the parents do about 15-20 min of reading practice with their child two other days in the week. We will give you the materials for practice and it will be very clearly laid out for everyone,
If you have any questions please reach out to Mary Murray at 208-520-9900.
***We understand that there may be a session or two that are missed due to your summer schedule. The price is still the same regardless of the sessions missed.

Come join EIDS for our 7th Annual Fearless Photos and Ice Cream Social. We will have photographers taking pictures of families and children to give to the families and to display on EIDS’s website and social media (if you give permission!). Of course, we’ll have ice cream as well. There will be 15-minute time slots starting at 5:30 pm until 8 pm. Once you sign up we will contact you with your time slot a week before photos. The photographers are donating their time, and we will email pictures to parents after the event for free. This event is free for registered members of EIDS. We look forward to seeing everyone!

***Right after each family finishes their pictures, they will be given their ice cream. .***
