    The Columbus Area Down Syndrome Support group provides Student Resource Packs for school age children in South Central Indiana. These packs contain up to date reference materials that identify educational approaches for students with Down syndrome. The material is packaged in an easy to carry tote that can move each year with the students as they advance in educational levels. The Columbus Area Down Syndrome Support Group maintains a catalog of materials and a list of individual who have received the pack. This allows the materials to be updated as new materials become available.
