A great reminder about being successful and how different success may look, but it is still success!
Below is a short tutorial directed at my son’s teachers; a love letter of sorts, if you will. He is 3, and in a preschool for exceptional children within our local elementary school. I think these ideas apply broadly though, to all professionals and all parents whose children have Down syndrome or other cognitive disorders. I hope there are takeaways in here that apply to children of any age. Let me know what you think!
To My Son’s Teachers: Research-Based Strategies for Learning
Some notes from a conference presented in Charlotte, N.C., last fall by Down Syndrome Education International, a UK-based research and training organization that has been using clinical trials to study how people with Down syndrome learn for 30 years. Professor Sue Buckley is the lead scientist at DownsEd and was the featured speaker at the conference along with some of her colleagues. For more information: www.downsed.org.
