The Grown-Ups | Lesson Plan: Being “Grown-Up”: Understanding Down Syndrome and Redefining Adulthood
In this lesson, students will explore the challenges that adults with Down syndrome face as they struggle to establish independent lives and relationships as “grown-ups.” Through the documentary film The Grown-Ups by Maite Alberdi, students will understand what Down syndrome is and confront their own biases about the capabilities of adults who live with the condition.
