DSACC Updates
Letter from Jennifer Whiting, Program Director
The Extra is funded in part by
The Fansler Foundation.
The year has started off with a bang and is not showing
signs of slowing down!
Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate the
artists at our inaugural Colors of Down Syndrome art show
hosted in January- it was a wonderful turnout! Thank you
to everyone who helped out and attended the Sweetheart
Luncheon & Fashion show- this year was the largest to
date! You can find a few photos on page 6.
The events don't end there though, we have lots to look
forward to in the next few months; 5 & Under socials in
May & June, Tee Up for Down Syndrome, Family Fiesta &
much, much more! Be sure to check out all the details in
this issue of the news letter and those to come.
This year brings some exciting changes for the DSACC
office- as you know we moved to the Shaw/Fruit area in
November, and our new facility is now easier to access.
Be sure to stop by and see what we have to offer our
members- such as our resource library, which we are
now expanding! Thanks to the wonderful support of the
Hillblom Foundation, we are in the process of updating
our library with new resource books and videos for our
members to check out or view in the comfort of the
DSACC library. We are also able to add a computer for
our members to use! We will be loading the computer
with programs to help teach your child different skills,
allow you access to online resources and more! Members
can expect this project to be completed by late April
2013. Until then, please feel free to come check out the
resources already available.
2013 is looking bright & busy and we cannot thank you
enough for your continued support and participation in
our programs and at our events.
Yours in service,
Jennifer

Yard Bowling with Easter Eggs Easter Egg Rolling -
Color me in!
Place one egg in the center of a
large circle. Have all players stand
just outside the circle. Everyone
should have one egg. Everyone
takes turns rolling their egg
towards the egg in the center of
the circle. The object of the game
is to get as close to the center
egg as possible without touching
it. If you touch the center egg, or
break your egg, you are out.

Mark a starting line and a
finishing line. Contestants must
roll their eggs from one line
to the next using a spoon or
similar object to push the eggs.
If a player touches their egg or
breaks their egg, they are out of
the race. The first person to get
their egg across the finish line
wins. For an added twist, roll the
eggs down a hill.
times and realizes that making a sound results in getting
juice, then you can gradually start expecting and modeling
the sound to a closer approximation of juice. When your
child correlates using his voice and getting what he wants,
he will be more motivated to use it again and again.
It is also important to give your child what they are asking
for immediately after they make the request. The sooner
he gets what he is asking for, the bigger the impact. Some
children may become frustrated when they realize that
they have to “work” for items that were previously given
freely. It may be helpful to start with just a few highly
desired objects/activities until language attempts are
being made more frequently.
Our favorite items for increasing speech and language
skills (and some of the words we use!):
1. Bubbles (open, blow, pop, more)
2. Balls (throw, go, up, down, bounce)
3. Cars/trucks/trains (vroom-vroom, go, stop, drive,
crash)
4. Anything that spins (go, stop, spin, fast, slow)
5. Slinky (boing, long, short, look through and say, “I
see you”, put on your head and “sneeze” it off)
6. Tickles (tickle, me, you, label where you should
tickle them)
7. Puzzles (in, out, labeling and requesting pieces by
the picture)
8. Magnets (on, off, noun labels, stuck)
9. Squeeze or pull toys (pull, squeeze, more, my
turn, go)
10. A box full of these toys (open, all words listed
above for each toy) * play with one at a time!
When working with young children, motivation is the key
to success. We all do better when we have an incentive
to do so. Imagine going to work without receiving a
paycheck…would you still want to show up?
Motivation can come from a variety of sources so follow
your child’s lead and use the items or activities they are
showing interest in to create a “teachable moment”. We
typically do this by interfering with the activity so the
child must communicate to continue with what they are
involved in. For example, if your child is playing with a
train you can get in the way of the train so they have to
ask you to move, you can take part of the train/tracks
so they can request it again, or you can stop the train
until you child says “choo-choo” or “go”. You can hand
your child a bottle of bubbles that they cannot open so
interaction must occur in order for them to gain access
to blowing the bubbles. Be creative in thinking of ways to
ensure that communication has to occur in order to have
the most fun.
When planning to use any of these techniques with your
child, you first need to determine what type of response
you are looking for. Responses can range from a gesture
or sign, a single sound, sound combinations, words, or
phrases/sentences. It is helpful to start your expectations
with a skill that your child is able to perform, and then
increase your expectations gradually. At the beginning,
ANY EFFORT counts. Your goal is to make your child feel
successful and realize the power of his voice. If your
child is requesting juice, model the word “juice” and look
expectantly at him. Model the word without giving him
the juice until he attempts to say the word. If his first
attempt sounds like, “ah”, hand him the juice and praise
him for “asking” for the juice. After he does this a few

Colors of Down Syndrome
Over 22 artists and 60 art pieces created by our loved
ones with Down syndrome were on display at Boling
Fine Arts Gallery in January to help raise awareness in
the community about the talents and creativity of our
members. Be sure to stay tuned for details on our next
ArtHop event in 2014!
Thank you DSACC artists along with ARC Fresno, SVS in
the Tower District and Fresno Pacific University-Adult
Transition Programs for getting their members involved
and donating pieces to our show. We sold quite a few
pieces and raised just over $1,000 to help host future art
programs at DSACC.

a crear conciencia en la comunidad sobre los talentos y la creatividad de nuestros miembros. No se olvide de
estar atento para nuestro próximo evento Art Hop en el 2014!
