How does down syndrome affect you intellectual?
Down syndrome is the most common genetic cause of learning disabilities in children. People with Down syndrome often have trouble remembering things they have learned and have no motivation to remember things that has no physical meaning to them. Down syndrome causes mild to severe mental retardation. Mental retardation is recognized as impaired learning, social, and vocational ability. This means that cognitive development is stunted. Children with Down syndrome often have to learn in special Ed classes, as normal classes may not be meeting the child's learning needs. Although individuals with Down syndrome can graduate high school, most will only have the IQ of an 8 year old. Another common problem with cognitive development for children with Down syndrome is the ability to generalize - to apply what they have learned in one a situation to another situation. Children with Down syndrome often have to be taught one thing multiply times. Short attention spans have been noted in children with Down syndrome.
