Just FYI, there's a new Yahoo group focused on some of the same subject areas as this forum
groups.yahoo.com/group/DownSyndromeAcademics/
DownSyndromeAcademics · Preschool-12+DownSyndromeAcademics
Description
Children, teens and young adults with Down syndrome deserve the best opportunities to learn traditional academic subjects no matter what placement they find available in their local communities.
We will discuss techniques and strategies that have been developed to encourage students with Down syndrome and support them in learning subjects like reading, math, languages, history, science, art, music, physical education, sports and games.
No matter what your educational philosophy, feel free to participate with information, to ask support, or share experiences. Student may be fully included in mainstream classrooms, enrolled in special education programs full or part time, homeschooled, or in private school.
