Development, education, and services in children with Down syndrome: a cohort analysis from a clinical database
A snapshot of developmental skill attainment in individuals with DS is provided. Therapies to support the levels of need were reported at much lower frequencies than the level of need reported to target aspects of development and behavior. Several gaps in therapies and educational services were identified. There is an important need for tailoring supports, based on developmental level, to meet individual needs. These findings may help to inform policy change related to developmental and educational services for individuals with DS.
