Interesting article. Quite sad. Further illustrates the need for appropriate testing/services/ placement. What struck me was the comment about "low expectations". If my child also had Down syndrome I wouldn't lower the bar- I'd encourage them to continue learning and become independent. When parents and professionals have no expectations, the child will certainly meet those expectations. Although they'll probably never be able to amount to much, since much was never expected of them.
