Learning social skills is a lifelong process for individuals 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. We have a number of social skills resources in our Resource Library. One we talked about at a recent social skills group is "Qualities of an Adult." It can be found at this link. Our entire collection of social skills resources can be found at this link.
