Down Syndrome : Play, Move And Grow

Plot

A new book providing practical suggestions on how parents and professionals can help children with Down Syndrome (DS) develop lifelong motor skills.

Motor Development for Individuals with Down Syndrome: Play, Move and Grow, is researched and written by UVic neuroscientist Dr. Naznin Virji-Babul and Dr. Anne Jobling of the University of Queensland. The book also reviews current literature in the field of motor development and provides information on various factors that can influence it.

By taking a task-oriented approach to movement rather than focusing on individual motor skills, Virji-Babul and Jobling hope to change how professionals evaluate individuals with DS.
