We need your help!!!
We could really use some help on Feb 7 around 9–10 PM at Hobart Moose Bingo, filling up the halls with players and cleanup afterward.
If you’re available to stay and help clean up, please let us know—we’d be so grateful! 💙

Here’s a great resource for something that can be challenging.

🚽 Using the Toilet: Visual to Support Independence with Toilet Hygiene 🚽

Thorough toilet hygiene can be difficult for some people with Down syndrome. Wiping after a bowel movement can be particularly challenging. Our online Resource Library has a visual that provides a reminder of the steps of using the toilet and explains how to wipe effectively. There are versions for girls/women and boys/men. There are also versions with different skin colors.

The visuals are available for free at the link below.
