The Strengths of Children with Down Syndrome & How They Learn Best
While children with Down Syndrome do experience learning challenges in classrooms, the good news is that they can reach their potential with specific teaching strategies that align with their learning strengths.
Strengths
Children with Down Syndrome tend to communicate well and enjoy being social. They often have a great impact on those around them, bringing out compassion and joy in others. According to Down Syndrome International, areas of strength include:
• Strong visual awareness and visual learning skills. |
• Ability to learn and use sign, gesture, and visual support. |
• Ability to learn and use the written word. |
• Ability to learn from pictorial, concrete & practical materials. |
• Keen to communicate and socialize with others. |
• Tendency to model behavior and attitudes from peers and adults. |
• Structure & Routine |
How They Learn Best
Children with Down Syndrome are strong visual learners who rely on visual memory to recall what they have learned. Since they have strong visual awareness, it follows that the best way to teach them is to use visuals.
“Studies suggest that the processing and recall of spoken information is improved when it is supported by relevant picture material. This information has led to educators stressing the importance of using visual supports including pictures, signs and print when teaching children with Down syndrome as this approach makes full use of their stronger visual memory skills.” -DSE-

When teaching math, use resources that teach number concepts, using plenty of visuals, hands-on activities, manipulatives, patterns, and stories, which draw on their learning strengths.
