Teaching+Students+with+Down+Syndrome

The resource I am posting here is a great resource for teaching student with down syndrome.

Down Syndrome is Chromosome disorder where there is 23 Chromosomes instead of 24 Chromosomes. Down Syndrome can affect a students, Vision and Hearing, Heart Conditions, Respiratory Conditions, Cognitive Difficulties, Communication Difficulties, Sensory / Motor Difficulties and Socialisation. This can be very difficult for a teacher when trying to teach a student with down syndrome.

The resource breaks down each of the sections listed above that students who have down sydrome may have and gives teaching tips on teaching to the specific disorders. For example for Vision and Hearing make sure the student is sitting close to the front of the class to enhance the chance of the students learning the content.

Teachers will be able to use this resource for not only students who have down syndrome but also for other students within the class. The resource has many great tips for teachers. I have attached the pdf document which I have retrieved from the [|www.cssda.ca] website which has many other resources which teachers will be able to benefit from.

Please feel free to comment on what you think about this resources as I think it is a good resource for teachers.
