Give your child extra help with gross motor skills!
Children with Down syndrome master basic gross motor skills just as their peers do, but may need a little help along the way. Written by a very experienced physical therapist, this guide shows you how to encourage and maximize a child's gross motor development - head control, rolling, kicking, and more - from infancy to age six.

PLAY Tip
Sensory Integration and the Mini Massager
One of the best ways to use the Mini Massager is to place on different parts of the child's body either to help learn to name body parts, or just to become aware of the whole body. A good way to give kinesthetic and body position feedback to more immobile children. The Mini Massager can also be used on the hands or on and around the mouth to decrease hypersensitivity and tactile defensiveness. This can often help a child who is having trouble eating textured food eat more normally.
