Yes, that's correct. Children with Down syndrome or autism often require specialized instruction and support to help them succeed in their education. Special schools or programs can provide these children with tailored instruction and therapies that are designed to meet their unique needs.
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects cognitive and physical development, and children with Down syndrome often have difficulty with language, communication, and learning. Special schools or programs for children with Down syndrome typically provide educational services that are tailored to the individual child's strengths and weaknesses, and may include speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy.
Similarly, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that affects communication and social interaction. Children with autism may have difficulty with social interaction and communication, and may also engage in repetitive behaviors or have intense interests in specific topics. Special schools or programs for children with autism typically provide specialized instruction and therapies that are designed to help these children improve their communication and social skills, including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy and Speech-Language Pathology (SLP).
It's important that the parents should consult with professional to help determine the best type of school or program for their child, as well as to make sure that the school is equipped to meet the child's unique needs.
