ILTS 206 Sub-Area 1 Practice Question #19
Jamie, a child with Down syndrome, will soon join a general education kindergarten class. When doing educational planning for this child, the kindergarten teacher should be aware that the typical developmental profile for children with Down syndrome includes relative strength in which of the following areas?
Correct Response: A.
The typical learning profile of children with Down syndrome includes strength in visual processing and visual memory skills. Jamie’s general education teacher should work closely with the special education teacher to determine whether this is the case with Jamie and, depending on Jamie’s specific learning profile, to develop instructional strategies that build on the learning strengths Jamie brings to the classroom.
