I had an epiphany today. After seeing a little girl give me her hand to shake it at church, i realized i want to work with kids who have down syndrome. Could i work at centers that take care of these kids? Any suggestions?

School Teacher, Residential Counselor, Nurse. Many people in many fields help these blessed individuals. I worked with many exceptional Children when I worked for Easter Seals at one of their residential facilities and it is very rewarding.

You can work as a teacher in special education. You can get into speech pathology. You can work in occupational therapy. You could work with the older DS population and get into group homes and community specialist situations, where you would either do direct care of individuals or bring them out for community involvement, (grocery shopping, tee ball, church).Or, you could adopt a baby with DS. It takes a special person. That might be you!
