Abstract	In this paper, the hypothesis that Developmental Dyscalculia (DD) is a characteristic of Down syndrome (DS) is proposed. Implications for the hypothesis are addressed: If it were to be confirmed that DS implies DD, what would be the consequences for the mathematics education of learners with DS? The use of prosthetic devices to overcome the impaired calculation capabilities of the brain is essential. Fortunately, electronic calculating devices are readily available. Their routine use opens the possibility of studying areas of mathematics that were once inaccessible. (As Provided).
