What Are Some Behavioral Challenges Typical In Persons with Down Syndrome?

 

 

 

The definition of a “behavior problem” varies but certain guidelines can be helpful in determining if a behavior has become significant.

•  Does the behavior interfere with development and learning?
• Are the behaviors disruptive to the family, school or workplace?
• Is the behavior harmful to the child or adult with Down syndrome or to others?
• Is the behavior different from what might be typically displayed by someone of comparable developmental age?
