Down syndrome
Therapy for children with Down syndrome can help with the acquisition of fine motor, cognitive and functional life skills. We work with our Down syndrome patients to help them master skills for independence through self-care like feeding and dressing, fine and gross motor skills, school performance, play, and leisure activities.
During infancy, we can help mothers whose children are having feeding problems because of weak muscles. Early childhood therapy can focus on mastering motor skills for independence, focusing on low muscle tone, loose ligaments at the joints, and visual deficits
School-aged children with Down syndrome benefit from self-care skills like zipping a jacket, cutting with scissors, or completing classroom routines to facilitate participation in school activities. We create a program to develop and utilize skills across their lifespan which enable them to live life to its fullest.
