reading club for people with Down syndrome

Hello dear friends of Down syndrome people is

long it still been around this blog, but a lot has changed. For my daughter continues to make great progress with the letter range of creative learning.

I admit we have neglected the program a few months. It is exactly occurred, what is the website of creative learning described

Because the letters were not permanently stored in the brain, it has some "forget". I played her the CD that comes with the package, and she could write a few letters only heard a few months ago. So, I was surprised that they read all letters, but that showed me you could!

The letters were not forgotten!

Since they sometimes have super grind together the letters to form words, I am confident that, when read, the letters are imprinted deep in her brain, can. We'll stay tuned with the program!

This article about a reading club I found on the internet and was thrilled by the thought. Certainly a lot more people with disabilities in "regular" kindergartens and schools are integrated, but also with my daughter, is in an outer class, I realize how important it is also the contact with people with disabilities. You need two things: contact with others and with which, having similar difficulties.

Such a reading club, where others are in there that are struggling with reading would certainly like her. I do not know if I can muster the energy to start something. Until then, I still have some time.

But like a call to all friends of people with Down syndrome I do here:

I think it is worthwhile to establish such a reading club. Write me if you want to establish one or a reading club for disabled people know.

Thank

Elke

school for Down syndrome children

Dear Down Syndrome interested

how it works: Down syndrome, and enrollment in a regular school?

is for some parents now, this very question. Either you very fortunate that there is an outdoor class in the city are - otherwise you have to fight for it. It is worth it!

alone, it is very cumbersome to ask why the disabled school if they know other children who are enrolled in school. Often in such a school, a kindergarten is integrated. But now many are thanking of "our children," God, be integrated into regular kindergarten, it is not easy to figure out wer zusammen mit dem eigenen Kind eingeschult wird.

In unserer Außenklasse, die mittlerweile im 7. Jahr an einer Grund- und Hauptschule geführt wird, sind Altersunterschiede von 4 Jahren. Wichtig ist, rechtzeitig Kontakte mit anderen Eltern zu knüpfen und dann gemeinsam das Anliegen an die Behinderten-Schule zu stellen, dass man eine Außenklasse gründen möchte.

Bei uns bot sich die kleine Grund- und Hauptschule im Vorort an. Meistens haben gerade diese Schulen Schwierigkeiten, genug Kinder zu bekommen, weil keiner sein Kind gerne auf einer Hauptschule sieht. Unsere Hauptschule ist übrigens super! Es gibt auch die Möglichkeit, sein Kind in eine normale Grundschule einzuschulen und mit Integrationshilfe to work.

my opinion, this makes less sense. I think that by the third or fourth school year, our children can not keep up and what do you do? Then our child has just settled in and has to change but on the disabled school. Repeat the class means for the child and new classmates ... .

Especially my daughter needs the regularity and habits. And it needs also are YOUR SAME! It's not easy to screw his own ambition back, but when the interests of the child keeps in mind, it is easier.

I am also happy when I find someone who is so like me who thinks the way I ...

Does not everyone have his friends? And so it goes to my daughter. She loves her brothers and their friends, the neighborhood children, children from the place (everybody knows) but particularly she is glad to see after the holidays, the children from their outer class.

The experience we gained in integrated foreign class are just very positive. I wish everyone to have this opportunity.

Regards Elke

prenatal

Dear potential of Down syndrome Menschen,

Pränataldiagnostik ist ein schwieriges und heikles Thema. Bekannt ist ja, dass es Frauen ab 35 angeboten wird. Bekannt ist auch, dass es durch die Fruchtwasseruntersuchung zu Fehlgeburten kommen kann, so dass sich jede Schwangere wirklich überlegen sollte, ob sie eine Fruchtwasseruntersuchung machen lässt oder nicht.

Ich finde, dass sie es nur machen sollte, wenn sie sich auch über den nächsten Schritt bewußt ist, d.h. wenn die Diagnose eintrifft, die man eigentlich nicht wollte. Ansonsten setzt man dem Kind eine unnötige Gefahr aus. Nur, um zu wissen, dass das Kind "normal" ist, dafür ist eine Fruchtwasseruntersuchung zu gefährlich.

Anscheinend gibt es seit 2004 in Denmark a risk poorer investigation. Anyone who clicks on this link, a report by this and an investigation was made in Denmark, as the on abortions and the number of births of babies with Down syndrome affects.

Here is an excerpt that I think is important:

"A widespread prenatal testing is however not uncontroversial example, criticize parents' associations such as the Down Syndrome Information Center in Cologne, that many parents are not informed sufficiently about the consequences of disability. would be - a life with Down syndrome can both the child and the parents are just as satisfied as Offspring without the genomic mutation. "

which I can wholeheartedly agree. Sure, there's something else, a child with Down syndrome instead of a" normal ". I would never want to exchange my daughter and I would never one of my three sons want to miss. It's up to each own.

Let's not forget that the women who have abortions suffer years later with great remorse. Sure, at first it is the solution. The problem is gone, but over the years appear on the conscience then is to make irreversible

A woman has contacted me in one of my parents' child-Turn Group:.. You was because they already "older" was to leave to make an amniocentesis and lost the baby there. "Actually, I would have had two children ...." I felt so sorry for this woman with this burden. I think it has done its good to talk about it.

Perhaps it is building, but on someone who is facing such a situation and reads how happy you are with a child with Down syndrome.

I would be delighted if you send me comments or you can also mail me.

Regards

Elke

Dear friends of people with Down syndrome,

On Thursday, 31.05.2007, 14:15 clock comes on 3sat in the series "From another point of view" of the half-hour film "Reporter for ear kiss - a colorful world in clear language."

What is an ear kiss?
One hears and sees all things - most of it goes in one ear and immediately out again to the other ear.
But some things are also important and will remain in the head - this is then an ear kiss.

This is the definition I have found on the homepage. Check it out clean. I think it's a great thing.
