Soon after Nick’s birth in 1998, Dana began directing her energies towards developing programs to improve education for learners with Down syndrome through direct service to parents, teachers, and students.

Sean J. Smith, Ph.D.

Dr. Smith is a Professor of Special Education in the Department of Special Education at the University of Kansas. More importantly, he is the parent of a son with Down syndrome. Sean weaves these two perspectives together in offering practical solutions based on evidence for classroom and home application. His efforts to support the field are reflected in his over 100 peer-reviewed articles, books, and book chapters as well as his numerous regional, national, and international presentations. Leading with technology as an effective tool, Sean has also been fortunate to receive over $30 million dollars of external funding, in collaboration with others, to facilitate the development and research of tech-based solutions for individuals with disabilities.
