For each class, students may be dropped off at 6:30pm by the UT Littlefield Café to socialize for 30 minutes with each other and volunteer students from UT. Students will then participate in an interactive discussion about the topic for the day in the Biomedical Engineering (BME) building across from the Littlefield Café. Here they can follow along with handouts of class slides and bring in their homework to discuss with their peers. Lastly, students will complete simple but fun projects. Families can pick up their student by the café at 8:30 pm.
Occasional student absences are acceptable due to summer vacations.
Full or partial scholarships available for adults with Down syndrome via DSACT or Ruby’s Rainbow.
