Down Syndrome
by Anayka Ramos
1. Impulsive behavior
2. Slow learning
3. Students with Down's syndrome suffer from delays in cognitive ability. Their brains have a delayed reaction when their neurological system sends a message to complete a task. In the classroom it is important to decrease the amount of material a student has to process at one time. If a non-disabled peer is completing a worksheet with 10 problems, then a student with Down's may only have to complete two problems.
4. Assistive technology is crucial in helping Down's students with their writing ability.
5. Short attention span
6. Poor judgment
