Modifying="dumb down"?
My youngest daughter has down syndrome. While I hope that she is able to be mainstreamed when she is school aged (she's only 17 months old right now), I would be really upset if they (the school) kept her in a class where she was obviously struggling despite all reasonable accomodations. It sounds like your class is not appropriate for this particular student and that you are doing everything on your power to accomodate his needs. Is there another class that would perhaps be more on his level? If not, is there maybe an assistant who could work with him specifically to help him? I would suggest calling an IEP meeting (if you have the authority - I know parents do but not sure about teachers) to discuss the situation and any other options. Best wishes!
