this school year i will be doing 1:1 aide work with a 15 year old boy with autism and down syndrome. how much harder is this then a regular autistic child are there any areas that should be addressed for easier learning or traits that they really don’t like any and all help will be excepted
Students with Down Syndrome has some very unique characteristics. Many of the students I have worked with can be stubborn. You will have to have a lot of patience and may have to get used to repeating your self a lot. Speak slowly and do not give to much information at one time because their processing may be slower. Autism and Down Syndrome is a very intersting combonation-Good Luck
