I. INTRODUCTION
Down syndrome (DS) is caused by the presence of an extra copy of the 21st
chromosome and is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disabilities (Roizen,
behavior delays and serious medical complications (Perlman, 2014). Due to genetic
causes and medical problems, the needs and pathology of DS are well documented in
the literature and often come from a medical deficit model aimed at solving the problems
in 600 and 1 in 1000 live births. Down syndrome is named after John Langdon
Down, the British doctor who first described the condition in 1887.

down syndrome was inherited by their genes, according to her mother, knowing that
their family has a history of this condition. Jenedel’s mother’s family has a history of
the condition because of her delayed speech and development. Jenedel’s mother
claims that she was in good health during her pregnancy. She was not in any danger
or accident, and she did not take any medication that could harm the baby during her
pregnancy. Jenedel’s birth may have influenced her husband and mother’s healthy
lifestyle. They also went to the doctor to check on Jenedel’s health to ensure that
she is in good health when her mother gives birth.Jenedel had her first speech and
occupational therapy check-up when she was two years old. Every 3 months, she
has a physical and cognitive check-up. Jenedel’s condition improved and she grew
up to be healthy, despite her speech delay. Jenedel had her first speech and
occupational therapy check-up when she was two years old. Every month, she has a
physical and cognitive check-up to improve her physical and cognitive skills and
thankfully its working and you can see such improvement in the child’s wellbeing.
According to her mom in the early days when Jenedel’s condition has been
starting to show some problems, she is unable to speak and can only be heard
shouting to express her words, and her actions cannot be controlled and she doesn’t

listen to her mom if she’s doing something inappropriate like for example throwing
tantrums, destroying her toys and hitting her mom if she can’t get what she wants.
But since the start of therapy she can now control her emotions, her physical
activities and she’s growing up to be so sweet and smart child. The child is also
sadly a part of bullying due to her condition there is this one time according to her
mom that Jenedel tries to interact with some children in her neighborhood but that
one time has a big impact to Jenedel, she’s been bullied and been called some
names because they don’t know her condition and they make fun of it because of
their ignorance. Jenedel cries when she goes home and that alone breaks her
mother’s heart imagine your child going through something like this is so
heartbreaking seeing your child being treated like that is so sad. Since then her mom
don’t let her go outside to interact with some other kids, Jenedel is now going to
school and thankfully she’s interacting with other students that are special like her.
She’s very smart and she’s also participating in their activities at school. And it’s nice
to know, and we’re hoping that world won’t treat her like that because she’s special

some children are born with extra chromosomes, which causes down syndrome. It is
a hereditary condition. This causes developmental delays and physical and mental
concerns. Typically, children with Down syndrome are diagnosed before or before
birth. Based on the child history her mother mentioned, they have some relatives
who has the same case of this which points out that what happened to the child is
genetic or hereditary.
hereditary and has a significant impact on her physical growth, features, mild to
severe developmental and cerebral difficulties, and speech delay. However, these
problems can change with the support of her family, by having speech therapy, and
by going to school and learning. We noticed that her physical characteristics and
behavior are like those of other children with Down syndrome. It is difficult to
understand the way she talks, and you need patience if you want to communicate
with her. This child is very sweet to people and is a very active child. In addition, her

IV. Conclusion
Pregnancy is a powerful feeling for many women. After all, you're creating
another person, and that is an incredible feat of strength on your body's behalf.
Pregnancy can also be exhilarating since you are envisioning a bright future for your
child. But, for all its excitement, pregnancy is often stressful and challenging,
especially for parents parenting a kid with special needs, such as having a child with
Down, the first physician to describe the syndrome systematically, Down syndrome
occurs in all ethnic and economic groups. People with the syndrome also are at a
greater risk for many other conditions, such as congenital heart disease, hearing
loss, leukemia, and dementia and memory loss like Alzheimer disease.
Jenedel is a 7 years old child that has been diagnosed of having a condition of
Down Syndrome. Some of the physical traits or attributes that can be noticed in her
because of her condition is her almond-shaped eyes that slant up, her short neck,
her small ears, her small hands and feet, and her flattened face, especially the
9|Page
bridge of her nose. These are also the most common physical traits of a person with
down syndrome. Having Down Syndrome also makes her life a lot harder than a
normal child’s. She doesn't have any friends, even in her neighborhood. Some of the
people around her don’t understand her condition. While some other people are
mocking her and bullying her because of her condition. It resulted in her just playing
all by herself inside their house. One of the highest factors that Jenedel has down
syndrome is because of her mother’s age when she gets pregnant. Many factors
contribute to Down Syndrome, but the prevalence is higher in older pregnant women.
There may be a higher chance if a pregnant woman is over age 35. While a pregnant
woman at age of 25 has about a 1 in 1,250 chance of conceiving a child with Down
Therefore, based on our observation. At first, she was shy but later she will
be comfortable in socialize with us. In the cognitive development of the child, when
we try to teach her something, she can easily learn it or catch up on it, in short, she
is fast learner. She can easily remember the things that you will teach her. In her
social situation whenever she sees some people, she will greet them like saying ‘hi’
to them and give them a flying kiss. And she is no longer ashamed to socialize with
other people because she knows how to get along with people and she’s friendly
child. She was very happy when some people are around her and she’s a sweet
child. When she’s trying to talk to us, we cannot really understand what she says
because of her condition and we understand it and we are glad that her mother is
there to interpret to us what she is saying. And it means a lot to us that even for the
shortest period we can quickly build such closeness to her. We made her feel like

Transmittal letter
Dear Ma’am:
Greetings of peace!
We, the first-year college students enrolled in ECED 101- Child Development at the Leyte Normal
University are conducting a special case study in partial fulfillment of the course and order to generate
a deeper understanding of children with special needs.
This case analysis is intended to identify the events, circumstances, and situations that may
explain the case and help parents provide intervention that may help the child cope with the
condition in the future. This study will also help us future educators to understand this case
deeper and offer practical help to out our own pupils when we become teachers.
In line with this, may we request your permission to conduct interviews, observations and
archival analysis that may shed more light on the case.
We hope that the reasons we cited will merit your time in giving us your support. Rest
assured that the data we will gather will be used solely for research purposes and will be
treated with utmost respect and confidentiality.
Attached herewith are the informed consent form, observation form and interview guide for
your perusal.
Thank you very much.
Very truly yours,
