Abstract
For many years, the educational capabilities of Down''s syndrome persons were underestimated because a large number of studies purporting to give an accurate picture of Down''s syndrome persons'' developmental capabilities had serious methodological flaws. A close examination of that literature, coupled with a look at findings from 2 current early education projects for Down''s syndrome children, revealed that psychometrically defined educability is far more common in Down''s syndrome persons than a cursory review of the literature would lead one to believe.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
