Early Learning in Psychomotor Training of Down's Syndrome.

Sanz Aparicio, Maria Teresa; Menendez Balana, Javier

Early Child Development and Care, v173 n2-3 p317-21 Jun 2003

Compared effectiveness of modeling from a clinician to that of written instructions to train parents to use a motor stimulation program with their infants with Down syndrome. Obtained motor development quotients prior to the program and at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. Found that infants of parents trained by modeling obtained higher motor developmental quotients at all follow-up assessments than did infants of parents who received written instructions. (KB)
