Intro: Recently, an 8-year old Down syndrome girl came home from school and her parents were surprised to find her shoes ducted taped to her feet. The parents were told that she kept taking her shoes off but they did not think the teachers would take it this far. They removed the child from the school and the employees involved in this incident are on leave. Parents should feel safe about sending their child to school. They should not need to worry about if their child is being harmed. Educators of special education students need to be sure they are teaching the kids and not harming them. It is important that the school is taking this seriously and taking actions. Thus, this paper will examine effective teaching strategies educators can use to help teach students with Down Syndrome.
