This eBook presents an overview of what is understood about development of number skills for people with Down syndrome.

This book reviews the small amount of research available on the development of number and math skills in individuals with Down syndrome from childhood to adult life. It provides guidance to expected rates of achievement, but emphasizes how little is known about the number and math abilities of children with Down syndrome.

Advice offered is based on the evidence currently available on learning in typically developing children and the specific learning profile of children with Down syndrome.
