What can be done to accommodate someone with down syndrome?

Depends on age: Early Intervention from birth-3, special education services from 3-21, job training beginning at 14, ADA accommodations at work, SSI & Medicaid are supports granted by law, though there are financial requirements for eligibility for the last two. Follow guidelines for health maintenance; recognize & treat psychiatric disorders; promote adaptive behaviors from early on. See www.ndss.org/.
