Teach Me Too
Why we need your help
EVERY CHILD DESERVES AN EDUCATION
For too long now, children with Down’s syndrome have been lost in a system that doesn’t fully understand their needs or value the huge potential for learning that exists within our community. Children with Down’s syndrome DO NOT have a consistent ‘global delay’. They have a specific learning profile with their own strengths and weaknesses. Research has shown us that certain approaches to teaching and learning can be very effective with our children. But still this access is restricted; generally reserved for those with the means to pay for the right support, or those who know how to survive in a complex system of education and care.
Teach me too is here is for everyone.
Regardless of wealth, race, background or region.
Every child with Down’s syndrome should be able to access this new fantastic resource.
What is TEACH ME TOO?
- Video library of short videos delivered directly to the children.
- Each stage has 20 videos between 10-15 minutes.
- 10 Videos are produced and led by Inclusively Down (specialist teachers)
- 10 Videos are produced and led by Key Communication (specialist speech therapist).
- All videos are designed to use the strengths of learning for children with Down’s syndrome and to target key areas of the curriculum.
- The videos can be watched independently by children but work best when an adult supports them. They can then use the techniques to continue learning at home or in school.
- Two stages have been produced so far.
- Resources have been specially designed to support this programme and these will be available (these are not currently covered by the funding at this stage).
Learn more about the programme.

How much do we need to raise?

Teach Me Too is powered by 21 Together, but it is an entirely ring-fenced fund, so all money donated goes direct to Teach Me Too. If for any reason what so ever 21 Together are unable to maintain and host any videos that have been funded by the Teach Me Too project fund, all the videos would be loaded onto an open YouTube channel, for free and open use.
