  • Children with Down Syndrome share a common profile of learning needs. Whether these are met within a mainstream or special school, our ambition is to ensure that children with Down Syndrome  access a differentiated curriculum via evidence-based strategies, resources and tools.

 

  • We want a formal, academic education for our children, just as all parents do, and we strongly encourage our schools to develop a specialist understanding of the distinct learning profile of children with Down Syndrome.

 

  • To this end, we welcome all opportunities to engage with schools and with the Local Authority and we are actively encouraging the development of a template of best practice for the education of children with Down Syndrome within Kirklees.

 

Ds-edu[1]Down Syndrome Education International provides a wealth of research, information and free resources, which we recommend to all professionals working with children with Down Syndrome.

  • The Down’s Syndrome Association website has plenty of sound information on education and children with Down syndrome, just click HERE to be redirected.
