Final Report: Iconoclast And London Children's Connection Internships, Veronica Botnick
SASAH 4th Year Capstone and Other Projects: Publications
In my second year of university, I joined an on-campus magazine, Iconoclast, as an assistant director.

Few interventions were tailored to the needs of the Down syndrome behaviour phenotype. The results …
