Each form has set requirements and checklists of criteria to determine the eligibility of a student. (Ex. Cognitive functioning has 2 standard deviations below the mean or their adaptive behavior is two standard deviations below the mean. )]]> 2022-02-18 21:06:07 UTC https://padlet.com/haileyzigg/mx8fv3uol64nd5pa/wish/2055934533 haileyzigg https://padlet.com/haileyzigg/mx8fv3uol64nd5pa/wish/2055946373 Down syndrome is a condition in which a baby is born with an extra chromosome.

At birth, kids with Down syndrome are smaller than other newborns, and they tend to grow at a slower rate and remain smaller than their peers.]]> 2022-02-18 21:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/haileyzigg/mx8fv3uol64nd5pa/wish/2055950354 haileyzigg https://padlet.com/haileyzigg/mx8fv3uol64nd5pa/wish/2055956141 Every child and person with Down Syndrome has different experiences and symptoms. However, Down syndrome affects kids' ability to learn in different ways, and most have mild to moderate intellectual disability About half of all kids also have problems with hearing and vision. Hearing loss can be related to fluid buildup in the inner ear or to structural problems of the ear itself. .]]> 2022-02-18 21:22:36 UTC https://padlet.com/haileyzigg/mx8fv3uol64nd5pa/wish/2055956141 haileyzigg https://padlet.com/haileyzigg/mx8fv3uol64nd5pa/wish/2055974318 1.  Teaching reading to students with Down syndrome should be characterized by a strong emphasis on visual learning. Visual demonstrations, pictures and illustrations can also be successfully used to assist in providing effective instruction in other subject areas of the curriculum. (NCSE)
2. The use of manipulatives and activity learning can be beneficially employed in the development of number concepts. Visually-based mathematic materials have been developed with particular reference to the learning strengths and needs of the student with Down syndrome.(Bentley et al., 2016) Using physical manipulatives in math can also encourage the practice of fine and gross motor skills and development of muscle.
3. All teaching and learning opportunities should be characterized by high expectations and predictability.
4. Speak directly to the student, using clear language and short sentences, and use appropriate and unambiguous facial expressions. As well as give them adequate time to respond to your questions or comments.
5. Students with Down syndrome generally demonstrate good social skills, which can be constructively utilized to increase learning and teaching opportunities. Try to create opportunities to complete activities with other students and be able to learn from their behavior
