Puan Syara, sebagaimana yang kita semua sedia maklum kanak-kanak Sindrom Down mengalami perkembangan pertuturan yang agak lewat berbanding dengan kanak- kanak seusia mereka. Oleh hal yang demikian mereka cenderung untuk menggunakan bahasa tubuh untuk berkomunikasi seperti mengunakan pergerakan tangan dan ekspresi muka. Di KDSF kami menggunakan Makaton sign sebagai medium untuk membantu murid-murid kami berkomunikasi. Makaton Sign ialah isyarat pergerakkan tangan dan juga simbol dalam bentuk gambar.

Children with Down Syndrome may have some prominent physical features that a gynaecologist may be able to detect. However, there are 3 types of Down Syndrome: 1) Trisomy 21 (95% of cases) 2) Translocation (4% of cases) and 3) Mosaicism (1% of cases).
