Learning Needs of Children with KS - Information for Teachers & Parents

Recent years have seen the tide turning in the ways that youngsters with Klinefelter’s Syndrome (KS)/XXY have managed at school. This is reflected in the statistics of the Klinefelter’s Syndrome Association survey which pointed out that, whilst virtually no adults had attended special schools as children, the figure had risen to around 1 in 3 by 1999. There is still a long way to go; many parents still feel the frustration of battling against cash- strapped education authorities for help, and many teachers long for insight into the minds of youngsters with complex needs.
