Down syndrome and Schooling – Part 3

Something you may consider or may already want to do is to home school your Down syndrome child. There are many benefits to home school for children with and without special needs. Home schooling your Down syndrome child may be best for you because in this type of school you’ll have a one on one studying for your child. You alone will be teaching him or her instead of a teacher that also has 19 other students to think about.

A home schooled Down syndrome child will be able to learn at his or her pace instead of one set by a school board. Children that are home schooled have one great benefit over other schooled children, and that is a benefit of better health. When you have 20 students running around in one room they’re going to end up sharing germs. In a home school setting you’ll be avoiding that completely, ending up with a child who isn’t catching colds from her or his fellow classmates.
