The TSSS UK is delighted to have worked on this magical project with our friends at the Down's Syndrome Association, who very generously funded this edition in collaboration with ourselves, Unique and the International Elf Service - our thanks to all involved.
This beautifully illustrated, interactive Magical Newspaper uses the wonder of the magical realm to spark important conversations with children about genetics and disability, not through deficit or superhero tropes, but with curiosity, creativity and respect.
It’s designed for schools, professionals, and families to explore how our bodies are made, and how difference is not less.
This magical resource offers a new way to talk about disability and genetics with young children, one that’s rooted in respect, imagination, and joy.
It is our hope that it will encourage positive conversation about genetic differences, understanding and tolerance. You can now play your part by sharing with your child, their siblings, teachers, health care professionals, friends and families.
We’re delighted to share details of an exciting new study, and we warmly invite all girls and women attending the annual Turner Syndrome Support Society conference to take part.
This nationwide photography competition is held in loving memory of Emma Woods, a talented photography student at the University of East London who sadly passed away aged 20.
Since Emma’s passing, her family and friends have raised funds for the Turner Syndrome Support Society UK (TSSS UK) to fund awareness initiatives that honour Emma’s legacy and support those affected by Turner Syndrome.
