Down Country operates as an umbrella educational and positive awareness information share uniting the differently abled/exceptionally gifted community among the three states (Missouri, Illinois and Iowa) comprising the Tri-State area.
It’s primary mission is to promote positive awareness for individuals with disabilities/exceptional abilities in the Tri-State area and facilitate the education/specialized training of teachers, therapists, administrators, doctors, nurses, support staff, families and rural residents working with differently abled/exceptionally gifted people within the Tri-State rural community.
It’s dedicated to helping provide training and promoting positive awareness for individuals of all abilities.
