Abstrakt: | Physical therapy for infants and young children with Down syndrome provides two important benefits. One is to promote the best possible functional movement patterns and posture early in life. Secondly, early physical therapy in the development of gross motor skills provides parents the opportunity to observe how children with Down syndrome learn. Understanding the learning styles of children with Down syndrome will help parents work with other learning challenges such as language, general education and social skills.
