However, this isn’t your only option. Today, you can send your child to a school that supports children with Down syndrome. At a Down syndrome school, your child will receive specialized programming, individualized instruction, and a lot of one-on-one instruction. They may also receive additional services, such as physiotherapy, counselling, and tutoring.

Some Down syndrome schools also support other developmental disabilities, such as autism, Asperger’s syndrome, Williams syndrome, and intellectual disabilities. They may also support children with learning, behavioural, and physical disabilities.

Down syndrome and special education

Down syndrome is associated with impairment of cognitive ability and physical growth, and a particular set of facial characteristics.

As research has shown, kids with Down syndrome can normally do most things that a child without this disability can. Sometimes they reach developmental milestones later than other kids. Early intervention programs, beginning in infancy, help affected children achieve their full potential.

Since many children with Down syndrome take longer to learn new things, Down syndrome schools and programs can be a big help. And in general, children with Down syndrome benefit from living with their family and interacting with other children.

Certain activities that develop learning, language, gross and fine motor, socialization, and self-help skills benefit kids with Down syndrome. On-site daycare and sibling programs promote inclusion, especially in the early years.

Early intervention, a good home environment, and sound medical care can also be very effective. These necessities can help reduce the threat of social isolation and educational deficiency that has plagued so many kids with Down syndrome in the past.

Down syndrome schools concentrate on inclusion, building self-esteem, and intellectual exercises. In addition, speech-language therapy and behavior-management therapy are also typically included.

On this page, we list private Down syndrome schools in Canada. This includes schools exclusively devoted to supporting kids with Down syndrome, as well as those that also support kids with other special needs. Find a Down syndrome school near you.
