Down syndrome and Schooling – Part 1

If you have a child with Down syndrome and they’re becoming school aged you’re going to have to start thinking about how to put together Down syndrome and Kindergarten. Since children with Down syndrome tend to have lower cognitive abilities than others their age, schooling is a different process.

Children with Down syndrome that have reached Kindergarten age are going to be taught things that are usually geared for a pre-school class. Down syndrome children from the age of five to eight are going to be taught things like: how to help themselves, simple addition, telling time by the hour, and reading simple sentences.
