See and Learn Memory

See and Learn Memory will be a visually-based set of teaching resources that will help children with Down syndrome develop their memory skills.

About See and Learn Memory

Children with Down syndrome experience specific memory delays, with verbal and working memory skills being more delayed than non-verbal mental abilities.

See and Learn Memory will provide guidance and resources to support activities to improve visual and verbal short-term memory and working memory skills. Short-term and working memory skills influence children's ability to learn language, to think and reason, and to learn reading and maths. Research has shown that these memory skills can be improved for children with Down syndrome with regular practice through games and activities.

Free to use

See and Learn Memory will be provided free of charge online by Down Syndrome Education International. Anyone will be able to download and use the programme without charge.
