Summary/Abstract: The analysis of the current situation in the field of inclusive education in the Republic of Moldova reveals that the National Education System faces the problem of insufficient teacher and support teacher training in designing customized assistance for children with Down syndrome. In this context, the research aim lies in establishing strategies to make school inclusion of children with Down syndrome more efficient in terms of the principle of providing support services. The proposed strategies comprise a related set of activities, exercises, and games, designed by areas of development of children with Down syndrome, namely comprising the physical, language and communication, cognitive, social-emotional, and adaptive behaviour categories. These strategies prefigure a logical and individualised methodological framework for the school inclusion of children with Down syndrome through the principle of support services provision.
