An interesting topic came up in our social skills group recently. The participants were teenagers and were all at an age when they were considering identity issues and thinking about the future. Some of them talked about how they think a lot about having Down syndrome and how it may affect their future plans. It had not occurred to us to cover this topic in our group but it was obvious from the comments of our participants that it is an important topic.
