Hi mummies,

1) An overview of the development of infants with Down syndrome (0-5 years)
Milestones for children with Down syndrome
An overview of the development of infants with Down syndrome (0-5 years)
A significant number of children who received early intervention learnt to walk by 2 years old. While speech is delayed, children who received training in communication (pictures & simplified signing), were able to communicate non-verbally by 2 years old.
2) The Goal and Opportunity of Physical Therapy for Children with Down Syndrome
Physical Therapy for Children with Down Syndrome
Quote : The goal of physical therapy is to minimize the development of the compensatory movement patterns that children with DS are prone to develop. It can and should result in adults who are healthier and more functional.
3) books available in the National Library
a) Oelwin, P (1995). Teaching Reading to Children with Down Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Teachers. Woodbine House.
b) Winders, P (1997). Gross Motor Skills in Children with Down Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Professionals. Woodbine House.
