Gemma
C-KB
Girl, born February 2006
Down syndrome
At the age of 2 years, Gemma was sent to a foster family. She learned to walk, likes to ride children’s slide. At the age of 3 years, she can eat with a spoon and cooperate when dressing. At the age of 4 years, she received education in a kindergarten near the institute. Under the guidance of the teacher there, she has improved much in language and can say phases of 3-4 words like “I want to be cool” and “I want a car.” At the age of 5 years, she likes to imitate adults. Now with the increasing of age and knowledge, she does well in other aspects but is a little delayed in mental development due to Down syndrome. She can use mandarin and Hakka to express her needs or wills. She can basically take care of herself. She has learned to take on or off clothes and shoes. She can point out her five sense organs and she is a very good child.
Gemma is active, outgoing and lovely. She likes to be with familiars and likes to be cuddled and play with toys or games. Sometimes, she would be tender. Like if she is not happy, she would cry. But she would calm down after comforting or being alone for a while. If you give her little snacks, she would be very happy. When she is happy, she would share food and toys with other children. But when she is naughty, she would also rob other children of their toys. She gets on well with other children and everyone adores her and we hope she would have her own family as soon as possible.
