Welcome
The PREP Program is a centre of excellence dedicated to the inclusion of individuals with Down syndrome in home, school and community life.
We are a registered, non-profit organization founded in 1988 by a registered SLP. The PREP Program now provides a wide variety of services and resources in individuals with Down syndrome in the Calgary area and we welcome visitors from out of town, province, and country.
About PREP
Our dedicated staff are here to support families along their unique journey of parenting a child with Down syndrome. We are there for the challenges and celebrations! PREP students learn that “It’s OK to have Down syndrome” and to take pride in themselves. Our goal is that each becomes a contributing member of the community, enjoying all the rights and responsibilities that being a caring, contributing member of the community entails.
Resources
