    Hi frenz,
    My friend's child s 3 yrs old n a down syndrome affected child, she has been going for therapies n showed much improvement. Docs says she'll b like a normal child after another yr of treatment. she has begun to talk words only now. For now she s going to Apple Kids play school in chennai. She wants to put her in a montessori . pls suggest wat 'll b right for d kid. Also suggest some good montessories around mylopre,alwarpet etc. Or is there special schools for such kids, as d docs hav said she'll b a average child. Read ur advice.

    Cheers,

    Most kids with down syndrome have delayed milestone so if she can get those milestone completed the child can easily integrate in main stream school which have inclusive education.

    This decision has to be based on teh skill level & milestone achieved as main stream teachers may not be able to handle the kid alone they would need special educator for Montessori which will cove the same activity but differently as kids with down syndrome have cognition issue which needs to be addressed at early age.

    There are 2 special school in Chennai
    Google search for Aikya

    & Dr. Rekha Ramchandran
    Down's Syndrome

    1 main stream
    A school which is a group of chettinad foundation. They admit children from the age group of 1.5 They admit special children and have special trainers for them. Depending on the childs capacity the time is distributioned between the time spend with the trainer and in the classroom with all the children.

    There is a support group for parents having kids with down syndrome

    Hope this helps your friend in need
    Cheers!
