[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 694362, member: 20051"] Sorry, I have no experience with Down syndrome, personally, but I did meet someone at work who was teaching, or having her son taught, ASL. (American sign Language) She did say it improved his behavior. He, too, had poor verbal skills. Unfortunately, I think you do need to look towards some sort of group home for your future. As horrible as it sounds, you child will, likely, outlive you, and you can't count on her sibling to care for her. DO you have a Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) in your state? Is she receiving services? Have you contacted ARC? Does she or can she receive services through them? Perhaps their is a partial care or day program she could attend? Or a medical day care in your area? [/QUOTE]
