Down Syndrome: Occupational Therapy Demonstration 

My brother with Down’s syndrome is my favourite person ever, the only person who gives me a hug every day and I can never be mad at him, he has a life span of 60 years tho like every other person with Down’s syndrome , he’s 15 rn (already a 1/4 gone!) I don’t know how I could live without him he’s my best friend! It’s so hard to know how he will cope if my parents leave before him 😢 but also if he leaves before us we will all be heartbroken! I’m living in the moment now tho I don’t want any regrets like I didn’t get to spend enough time even tho I will probably always think that if god takes him before me 😞 he is an angel 😇

You interact with that child like he is your own, I am so glad that you chose to do what you do. Those children are very lucky to have you.

Wow i had no idea of the level of thought that was put into helping children with these conditions. I feel ashamed not understanding how important and how much knowledge these people that work with these kids have.

God bless each person who can take such care of children. The only thing that we should do is to love them and spend as much time as we can. They are wonders.

Awww, that interaction between OT and boy was so sweet!

I help give occupational therapy to my godchild while she's under my care. I teach her to put her clothes on and off and ask her to do it herself (i helpher if she gets stuck), show her to wash her hands and brush her teeth, and watch her when shes eating. She now knows how to blow on hot food and to use basic utensils for eating, and also knows how to scrub herself in the shower. She is almost four. Be patient! Some children will get fussy when learning because they are used to you doing things for them and try to make it easier for them by getting you to do things for them. I recommend encouragement and ever so slight firmness, if it doesnt work you still help them out and show them by using their own hands. Remember they get frustrated along the way because they have a hard time communicating their feelings to you. Be gentle, kind, and fun, but also let them know they can do things all on their own as well and always cheer them on when they make progress. They are used to routine so progress is gradual. From my experiences I learned that two to three minute activities are best for them.

People can be so evil. We should all be helping those with disabilities, because it's the right thing to do. But instead, they just want to throw insults and make fun of those with disabilities. Well, it's wrong in so many levels. It's selfish, immature, childish, disgraceful and pure evil. Nobody with a disability should be treated poorly. They should be treated with love and respect! Everyone with disabilities deserve better!

My heart has melted! Thank you for the educational video!

Awesome video Emily. Thank you for everything you do for the kids.

I just got accepted into a very competitive ota program and i am so ecstatic for this to be my everyday treat just being able to see the good it does for people is so heart warming and i cant wait

So polite. What a great job! Thanks for the great information!

Great, very interesting, clear and helpful! Thank you!

This was so helpful for an OT student to see. Thank you!

This makesme so happy. Inclusion. Not just sitting at home and not doung any thing. Makes me cry

I was once friends with a girl with down syndrome, and I prayed to the Holy Spirit to help her thrive with DS.

this is an awesome and very informative video. thank you for sharing! I love OT!

Thaks for uploading this video! Can you eventually add subtitles, or a short summary under the informations? English is sometimes hard to understand for me. Anyway thanks a lot!

I thank the GOOD LORD 🙏 for opening the door for me, I'm a retired Home Health Aide some of my patients got help and some didn't I'm a certified aide but the training I got let me help my patients to get the support they needed and my training help them out but I did alot of encouragement so they can feel good about themselves, my son is autistic he does all his ADL'S I don't do anything I cook but he heats his lunch in the microwave. I thank the GOOD LORD everyday 🙏 for my training and calling to be a Home Health Aide and the nurses, Doctor's and therapists that train me. I enjoy being a Home Health Aide, One on One.

sweet boy and nice work i'm learning from you

It would have been nice to be able to buy some of the tools used in this video, the site they refer to where one should be able to buy these tools does not have anything for sale 🤔 I can’t find any of these tools in my country (Denmark) 😞 But good to know just sad that I can’t find the items to buy...

Prasthana Sadhana helps in improving the child's abilities, I think.

I have a friend of mine who has Down syndrome and I’ve known him since elementary school. He and I had a learning disability but at least he and I didn’t put each other down.

Where can I find the sheet with the borders (circle triangle and rectangle). This video is so helpful!

Good and simple video :)

he is soooooooooooooo cute !

Great information!

really informative thank you SO much!

WHAT A CUTIE PIE HE IS.

Can you tell me the brand name and/or where I could get that communication device. I would like to utilize it in the classroom. I have never seen one that works with cards like that.

Awwe he’s so adorable 💛

Hello ms. Emily!

god bless you

AW LOVE THIS

Thanks much, this was helpful. ADEBO

So cute God's child,, God bless you

My brother has down syndrome and he's 21 and he sleeps in the same room. As me, I love him so much. He's so sweet.

He got to the cards and he was like, "Nah, I don't feel like doing calculus today."

Hi I am kanimozhi my child 6 years old,you give the ot spech writing activities

Gostei muito do video.Apesar de ser curtinho,mas bem apropriado p/ quem tem filhos com sindrome de dowm e nao tem recurços p/ coloca-los em instituicoes de qualidade.Com este video e outros vou ajudar meu filho em casa.

permission to use this video. because I want to make an assignment

He’s so cute that’s awesome that he Is learning one on one like that

My son is 27 ys. He becomes angry stopping him from some work and shouts , is there any medicine for such children?

I think at some point they found the answer to everything, as to what happened next, was more surprising. Perhaps Golden Rose Ice Chic nail lacquer to fix Dawn syndrome? Or red laundry detergent? Something like Perlux red?

My boyfriend's sister is having down syndrome. He loves her the most. So I want to love her that way and take care of her like he does. I've no idea on how to do that.

I cried after watching this video. Then I pooped a bit.

Thank u , your video was insightful. All the best to ur cute learner

Children with Down syndrome are particularly vulnerable to sexual abuse due to: - Limited verbal communication and vocabulary - Reliance on helpers for personal and physical needs - Lack of education in body awareness and boundaries - Conditioned compliance due to the need for interventions - Frequent separation from typical peers - Increased exposure to multiple adults and caregivers - Strong desire for attention = vulnerability to manipulation - Societal expectation that children with Down syndrome are friendly to all people, even strangers

Care and share accualy is

Aww my neighbour is lovely he has ds but kids on the road call him a window licker! It's awful my mum worked with ppl with disabilities and she said they were the most nicest people ever

It is best to start occupational therapy for children with Down syndrome as early as possible. The children learn while developing their senses.

I have a qeuston why do people with these disorders look about the same (not trying to be mean just wondering)

My son is 16 has Down Syndrome he didn't get most of this treatment he still can't button his pants or tie his shoes his therapist said he was done. I do the best I can on my own this isn't fair to him.

🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

well ok den

My brother is 27 years old, and he's got Down Syndrome. He's a train wreck. He throws things, he screams, he destroys stuff, he urinates on himself, He's just so evil! He had all these therapies years ago, and It didn't do anything for him. He can't speak correctly, and He's really a MESS!

xo

Lmaoo homeboy looks like jabba the hut 😂😂

these people have insights into humanity that could change everything. we're all living in different realities and have truths from these realities that are impossible to explain because of our brainwashing.

My couson has down sim drum

My sister has down syndrome and heart problems she loves this place and especially the play room

Does he seem very familiar to anyone
