摘要
The present study aims to determine some efficient intervention strategies of a daily intervention program, complex enough to cover all the weaknesses of a child with Down syndrome by approaching his/her strengths. Three children with Down syndrome have been involved in this experimental program. Their progress in the social, language, self-help, motor skill areas has been assessed every six months. All the children registered an increasing of their IQ scores, between 10 and 20 points above the initial score, proving that an intensive, daily intervention program is the best way to improve a child with Down syndrome's delayed developmental areas.
