Can cognitive therapies treat down syndrome? if they can, what type of cognitive therapies?

Not really: Down syndrome patients may benefit from having a life coach or teaching to master the activities of daily living, but it is not treatment. Those that have an IQ high enough to be aware of the their differences may benefit from a supportive relationship with their caregivers.

No: Persons with Down's syndrome will have different cognitive and performance levels. Specialized care allow individualized living skills training and maximal allowance and support to achieve maximal independence.
