Hello. I work for a nanny agency and have recently been assigned to a family with 3 children, 1 of whom has Down's Syndrome. I was wondering if you had any advice on Down Syndrome? Or, if you were going to have a nanny, what would you want them to do for your special needs child? Thanks! ↓

Treat them like any child! Maintain consistency! Create attainable expectations! Be patient and have fun as with any

I am taking an online class about children with special needs. I have a discussion question that i have to get on a chat room and talk with parents of children with disabilities. I would like to have some input on problems that can occur. Does your child transition into regular classrooms? Do you have a lot of parent support groups? How does your family cope with stress if it occurs? Could you please send me a reply. ↑
