"Children with Down Syndrome are like all children in their need to make friends, to explore their environments, to gain confidence and self esteem, and to learn...Pre-school and other community activities are excellent preparation for the integration of children with Down Syndrome into their local school - whether in a normal class or in a special class attached to a regular school.....These guidelines have been compiled..for pre-school teachers, child care workers and community workers. While the pre-school is emphasised, it is expected that others involved in community activities will be able to adapt what they read here to their own needs." N.B. This organisation does not advocate anything that separates a child from being fully included in the life of the community, including special classes attached to regular schools.
