You Can Teach Your Child with Down Syndrome
Home school your special needs child with success
Did you know your child with Down Syndrome can learn quickly?
And you can teach him--at home--successfully.
My name is Helen Middlebrooke and I am the mother of Deborah, a lovely little girl with Down syndrome. When Deborah came into my life, I knew she would be home schooled along with all of her siblings. But how? I had never had a child with Down syndrome before.
I felt alone. Unsupported.
Not only was I wanting to home school a Down syndrome child, I was wanting to do so on Guam, an isolated island in the western Pacific. Where was I to begin?
I knew enough about Trisomy 21 to know early intervention would be important in helping Deborah achieve her full potential. So I put her in a government-supported early intervention program.
What a disaster!
When it came to Down syndrome, the therapists dealt in stereotypes and labels. Deborah was "high functioning" but she was still "delayed."
They wanted me to direct the therapy, but I was clueless, so I let them lead. They approached her piecemeal, not as a whole person, and they began putting the pieces together in the wrong order!
Consequently, Deborah did not progress. She did not talk. And could not walk. Their assessments showed that she was becoming more delayed.
In my heart, I knew they were wrong. I knew that she was smart, but we were failing to tap into her potential.
After wasting more than two years of Deborah's life, I found an approach that addressed the real causes of her delays. Within a year she was reading and saying words; within two she was walking.
We still have a long road ahead of us, and there are many things yet to discover. But I believe that Deborah will reach her potential and be all that God wants her to be.
Thanks to Deborah, I have learned much about development, particularly how the body and brain work together, and how a genetically altered body does not work well at all. I've done some things wrong, and some things right.
And now, nearly 10 years down the road, I'd like to share some of the things I've learned about teaching a child with Down syndrome. I'd like to shorten your learning curve, and help you find faster success as you home school your child with Down syndrome.
