Symptom #9: Learning Difficulties
Some kids are just better than others when it comes to learning new things. It is largely a matter of genetics, while nutrition, upbringing, and some other factors can contribute how well children develop where their cognitive abilities are concerned. It is also common for children with Down syndrome to have learning difficulties.
Children with Down syndrome are likely to learn to speak later than other children will. They are likely to be behind other children in academic matters and will also struggle to learn how to handle social situations. Even among children with Down syndrome, learning abilities can vary significantly. Some will even go on to graduate from high school.
