I’m a mum of a 31 year son with Downs Syndrome, he’s got a life of his own now in supported living👍

My is the same but we see him every weekend and they never let him forget who he is and they help us - we leave him after we have fed him with activities which they make sure they do with him, too - this cooperation makes for better learning and although simple activities (like colouring, stickers, letter tracing books and jigsaws)- gives better support to him and emotionally he is better, happier
