When evaluating behavior in a child or adult with Down syndrome it is important to look at the behavior in the context of the individual's developmental age, not only his or her chronological age. It is also important to know the individual's receptive and expressive language skill levels, because many behavior problems are related to frustration with communication. Many times, behavior issues can be addressed by finding ways to help the person with Down syndrome communicate more effectively.

How Can teachers ensure that a student with Downs Syndrome reach their full potential?

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that it is a teacher's responsibility to educate themselves about all the diverse learners in their classroom. In order to ensure success for students with Down Syndrome a teacher must fully understand the strengths and needs of this student. Not everyone with Down Syndrome will have the exact same characteristics or health concerns as another. The teacher needs to gather information from the parents, the OSR, medical documents, conferencing with the student, conversations with support staff and previous teachers to help program appropriately for a student with Down Syndrome.
