What kind of work can people with Downs syndrome do? I've often wondered about their mental capacities.
<|assistant|>
People with Down syndrome have a wide range of mental abilities. Many are able to work and independently manage their finances. In the US, most are employed through employment initiatives such as Supported Employment and Special Workshops. Those who cannot work have many other activities available such as attending college and living independently. There is much diversity in the abilities of people with Down syndrome. As for work, each person is unique in their skills and abilities, and some are better suited for some types of jobs while others for others. Generally, people with Down syndrome are able to hold a job with support and training. Some examples of work Down syndrome individuals may do are: working in customer service or retail settings, food preparation, office work such as data entry, or in production work environments. They can even start their own businesses like some of the many entrepreneurs with Down syndrome. Down syndrome does not define what a person is capable of achieving!
