We were so pleased to welcome Rebecca Cooke to the Opportunity Center this week. Rebecca met with Pam (CEO) and Stacey (Director of People & Communications) to discuss the impacts Medicaid cuts and changes will have on those we serve. She was given a tour of our office, production, warehouse, and kitchen facilities. Along the way, she met a few busy client-employees who proudly showed off their work skills and talents (as well as their excitement for visitors :)).

Rebecca's attentive ear and supportive feedback shed an optimistic light on the uncertain future our clients and their families face.

Thank you for listening to the important stories we have to tell, Rebecca!

Many (but not all) people with Down syndrome think and behave in concrete ways. This can be very functional. For example, people with Down syndrome often excel at well-defined tasks that can be consistently completed in the same way.

Conversely, abstract thinking and concepts, such as time, may be more challenging for some people with Down syndrome to understand. For example, many people with Down syndrome can tell what time it is on a clock or watch but they may talk about events that happened many years ago as if they occurred just a few days or weeks ago.

There is an entire chapter dedicated to concrete thinking and behavior in Mental Wellness in Adults with Down Syndrome by Dennis McGuire, PhD, and Brian Chicoine, MD. A free PDF of the book is available at the link below. Chapter 5 is on concrete thinking and behaving.
