Three speech therapists from Belgium, came to Aycliffe to see the exciting work at the Down Syndrome Education Centre at the PCP run by Maggie Hart.

“It is lovely for us to be able to share our successes and experiences internationally and the therapists thoroughly enjoyed being here in the North East” said Maggie.

They visited the Friday and Saturday groups and are shown with the children in the photograph above.

“Our heads are full of ideas that we want to take back to Belgium and we have been inspired by the beautiful children and their parents and their teachers. A special thanks to Maggie for making this trip possible.” said Isabelle De Raunter, Co-ordinator of SAPHIR, Brussels.
