Individuals with Down syndrome encounter considerable difficulties from their earliest years. Mevlude Thaçi, representing the Dua Ylberin association, highlights that integrating these individuals into society presents a major obstacle, affecting everything from preschool settings to job prospects. A key concern is the acceptance, inclusion, and employment of people affected by this syndrome.
Thaçi, a social worker, stresses that nearly all individuals with Down syndrome face substantial challenges in gaining access to both public and private services. She underscores that the situation is particularly complex in rural areas, where essential services and adequate support are often unavailable. Thaçi emphasizes the need for specialized professional treatment for those with the syndrome.
This includes therapies such as speech therapy and psychological sessions, which are vital for their development and well-being. The lack of these resources further exacerbates the difficulties experienced by individuals with Down syndrome, demanding increased attention and support to ensure their full participation in society.
