1. yes that's an extra, because those are prices for youth and adults with down syndrome conferences. so you dont have to check that since Mayson is a baby
2. the banquet is formal, not too dressy! it was nice the last year specially the video of the youth/adults with DS
3. i dont know how old are your kids, but if they can maybe the brothers and sisters conference its a good idea (For siblings entering 6th-12th grade in Fall of 2007)
what you should attend?? i think close to the date there will be a detail schedule of the conferences so you can pick better on what to attend.
last year i went to PT, teaching reading (in spanish), latin-american reunion and what down syndrome is
