In Episode 1, we explore the learning profile of children with Down syndrome and what teachers need to know to support inclusion in the primary classroom. We discuss common strengths and challenges, why every child is different, and practical ways to make the curriculum accessible through visual supports, pre-teaching vocabulary and effective differentiation.
