Down Syndrome Awareness Month 2021 - Day 20

October 20, 2021 07:00 AM
Did you know? Learning social skills is a lifelong process for people with and without Down syndrome.
 

Learning and maintaining social competency is challenging for all of us. The "rules" of appropriate social interaction are often unwritten, can change based on the situation or 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. The COVID-19 pandemic is a recent example of the importance of adjusting to new social norms and practices.

We have a number of social skills resources in our Resource Library. Our collection can be found at this link.
