Did you know? Learning social skills is a lifelong process for people with and without Down syndrome.

Engaging with and responding to others in our world can be challenging for all of us at times. The “rules” of appropriate social interaction are often unwritten, can change based on the setting, and usually require abstract thinking. Rules that were learned in school may not apply to the work or community setting and/or may need to be reviewed or reinforced. We have a number of social skills resources in our Resource Library for individuals with Down syndrome (linked here). They cover topics such as compromise, conversation skills, qualities of a good friend, and more.
