Trisomy 21/Down Syndrome is the most common genetic chromosomal disorder caused due to abnormal division of cells resulting in an extra, full or partial copy of chromosome 21. It leads to learning disabilities in children due to developmental delays. Most children with Down syndrome have mild to moderate cognitive impairment, delayed language ability in addition to problems in both short and long-term memory (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/down-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20355977). The Covid-19 pandemic brought about a huge shift in the way day to day affairs were conducted. Children with Down syndrome and their parents who already face comparatively more challenges had a new challenge- ‘online schooling’. The present study is an attempt to study the perceptions of parents and teachers regarding the impact and challenges faced by the children with Trisomy 21 due to online schooling during the Covid-19 pandemic and provide suggestions and the strategies for the same.
