Strengths & Challenges of Down Syndrome

Unlock your child's learning potential by understanding the strengths and weaknesses of children with Down syndrome. These educational strategies will help minimize their learning difficulties by tapping into their unique learning strengths.
Individuals with Down syndrome are more like their typically developing peers than they are different. Children and teens with Down syndrome accomplish amazing and ordinary things every day. They have dreams and hopes for their future and the determination to meet their goals. Although people with Down syndrome experience learning difficulties that lead to delays in many areas of development, not all areas are affected equally.
