Creating a Platform for Individuals With Down Syndrome and Their Families Using Structural System Analysis and Design Methodology: a Review for Theoretical Framework

Although the abundance of attempt available for people with special needs, organized approaches and research regarding Down syndrome are obviously lacking. This study aims to address the lack of platforms that systematically provide services that meet the needs of people with Down syndrome and their families by designing a multi-functional, comprehensive, and systematic digital platform using the Structural System Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM), which is widely used within the field of systems engineering. For managing the project's complexity and offering an efficient system design, SSADM was chosen. In addition to drawing attention to the gap that currently exists, the study intends to create a website where people with Down syndrome can communicate with one another, exchange experiences, stay up to date on current events, get professional advice and legal information, and access educational and recreational materials that have been specifically created for them. The goal is to remove the present complexity, guarantee that the data that may be gained for the development of these persons is gathered together. Our main goal in this study is to bring together multiple services under a single platform for people with Down syndrome and their families. In this context, various studies conducted in the literature have been compiled and attempted to be presented in a review style to establish a theoretical framework.
