Home Education and Children with Down Syndrome. The Primary Years

Children with Down syndrome face etiology-specific (specific to Down syndrome) learning challenges. Research has given us a picture of the specific strengths and weaknesses of children with Down syndrome - different from other causes of mental retardation. Educational plans need to reflect these strengths and weaknesses and teaching needs to target the way they learn to improve outcome. Home education can meet the needs of children with Down syndrome more effectively than the public or special education systems and maximize the child's potential globally and make the most of their abilities.
