So my one friend Lloyd is in my grade and so is his brother. Lloyd is 18, but his brother is 20. He turns 21 in February. Alright, so here's the thing. His brother is mentally handicapped. He has down syndrome and cannot even really communicate.
As an educator, I would like to know more about Lloyd's brother. If he is a 20 year old with Down Syndrome, how is he still in school? Was he retained at any point? I'll wait to give any of my thoughts until I hear your answers because that is quite a puzzling situation.
