One in 650 newborn babies is born with the Down syndrome. Better understanding of this syndrome is important for people with Down syndrome and their families, to ease life and provide the opportunity for it to be more complete and active. This paper describesthe genetic disorder, as well as the importance of including a child with Down syndrome in regular education programs, the need to develop an individualized educational plan for working with a child with a Down syndrome, and the importance of co-operation between educators and the child’sparents.The purpose of this final paper is to inquire educators about conducting activities for a child with Down syndrome that is included in regular educational programs. As a further purpose of this paper and research topic, I have conducted a questionnaire with the educators in pre-school educational institutions.In my research, I began with the hypothesis where I assumed that the educators are conducting enough activities while working with a child with Down syndrome which is involved in activities with other children.31 educator from the Zagreb County participated in this research. Although the main lack of this research was a small number of respondents, the results of the research confirmed the above-mentioned hypothesis. Like any child without difficulties, a child with Down syndrome has the right to be an active participant in the community in which it lives. The child has a right to education, and maximization of its skills and potential. A positive relationship with a child with Down syndrome is a prerequisite for all members of society, because it will make it easier for the family to act upon the imposed role; whether protective, social, moral, educational, economical or creative.
