Sharing this insightful article for Down Syndrome Awareness Month 💛💙

Are we making too many assumptions as to who they are or capable of being?

Do expectations really matter that much to a child with Down syndrome? How much do the beliefs and behaviors of the adults around them influence their learning and development?

In honor of Down Syndrome Awareness Month Dr. Peirson explores these very questions in her new blog post, The Power of High Expectations for Children with Down Syndrome. 💛 💙

Learn about the Pygmalion and Golem effects and how high or low expectations can shape the opportunities, instruction, and support a child receives.
