How to deal with cognitive development and learning in a Down syndrome child?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

1. Down syndrome children are special children and need special care throughout their childhood and later too.

2. Their cognitive development (IQ) is low as compared to normal children, as per the literature.

3. But, if given the right environment, occupational therapy, and other specific therapy (speech and hearing) they often grow as normal children.

4. There are numerous resources material available online as well as community available, where common concerns and challenges are freely shared by parents while raising Down syndrome children. You can take the help of these resources.

5. Do not be so concerned, as they grow, these children do far better in their life due to the many resources or opportunities available at present.

Feel free to connect if any other concerns.

Thank you.
