[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my SN support group a woman shared her experience with her adult DS daughter. She was in a work program with the county but she was getting anxious for some reason or another and she started to "mess in her pants" again. Her daughter is 35. [/quote] We know so much more about how to support and nurture children with DS than we did 25 years ago. I'm the poster with the long post, and I've worked with both adults and young kids with DS as well as ages in between. Many of the 7, 8 and 9 year olds I know have more skills as elementary schoolers than the adults I used to serve ever acquired. I think that we will find that when the current group of kids grow up they are much more able to hold employment in the community, and are long past basic skills like toileting. [/quote]
