My boy with Down Syndrome is reading at age 2 and a half years

« on: March 07, 2015, 03:22:57 PM »

Hello

I just want to share my experience to all parents with special needs children. I'm so delighted to tell you that before ending the first semester of Little Reader Program my son who has Down Syndrome started to read. Now that he's 3 years, he is flying in reading, we go outside and he's reading everywhere even new words he sort of understand the phonetics too. He loves the program and always asks for more and giving me books to read together.

I can't thanks enough to all the people who are involved in the fantastic program and for you parents keep going you will see great results with your amazing children

I was very glad to read this. I have an 11-month-old with Down syndrome and just discovered this forum and program.

Thank you so much to all who posted. My daughter with DS is now 2 years 4 months. I have been meaning to start her with the Doman methods; I am very interested in these programs. I am appreciative and excited to hear your results.
