Peanut Butter Falcon: A Film with a Conservative Soul Teaches Three Great Truths of Manhood

Advocacy, Cognition, Education, Health, In the Media, Our Blog

If you haven’t seen Peanut Butter Falcon, go see it at the movies while you still have the chance. An authentic Tom Sawyer adventure story starring a young man with DS – it will warm your heart. We are so protective of our loved ones we can be guilty of “infantiling” them – I wish a true friendship like this one for all friends with DS.

Executive function influences most daily functions

Cognition, In the Media

From Down Syndrome Education International

Research is beginning to explore the development of executive function in children with Down syndrome. This skill underpins many aspects of cognition and learning. Further research is needed to explore if early interventions targeting executive function can improve outcomes.

Motor development matters for cognition, language and social development

Cognition, In the Media

From Down Syndrome Education International

Children with Down syndrome develop motor skills more slowly than many other children. A number of studies have explored their motor development, and a few have begun to evaluate specific physical therapies. It is increasingly recognised that motor skills effect cognitive development. More research is needed to develop and explore effective interventions to improve motor and cognitive development for children with Down syndrome.

The intensity of interventions matters – but how much?

Cognition, Education, In the Media

From Down Syndrome Education International

Understanding how best to help development not only involves discovering what approaches work, but also how much, and how frequently, intervention is necessary. Studies with children with Down syndrome are starting to offer some indications, but more research is needed.

Training attention skills may improve later learning outcomes

Cognition, Education, In the Media

From Down Syndrome Education International

Research is beginning to explore the development of attention skills in children with Down syndrome and how these relate to later learning outcomes. Initial findings suggest that supporting the development of attention skills in the early years could help to improve later language, literacy and number outcomes.

Children with Down syndrome can be as motivated as other children

Cognition, Education, In the Media

From Down Syndrome Education International

Motivation is important for learning. It is often assumed that children with learning disabilities are less motivated than other children. Recent research suggests this might not be the case: children with Down syndrome can be as motivated as other children at the same stage of mental development.

Learning about numbers is difficult

Cognition, Education, In the Media

From Down Syndrome Education International

Most young people with Down syndrome find learning about numbers difficult and only a few acquire the number skills sufficient for everyday life. Research has begun to explore possible reasons for these difficulties but more studies are needed to better inform more effective teaching approaches.
