Applying Evidence-Based Interventions for a Child with Down Syndrome (Age 0–3 Years): A View Through the F-Words Lens Tool Framework
Applying Evidence-Based Interventions for a Child with Down Syndrome (Age 0–3 Years): A View Through the F-Words Lens Tool Framework
A recent umbrella review evaluated evidence-based interventions for children with developmental central hypotonia, including those with Down syndrome. Motor, sensorimotor, orthotics, positioning, mobility, and infant massage interventions are supported by positive but low- or very-low-quality evidence. Using a retrospective case report format, these interventions are described, and their proposed mechanism of action is examined through the F-words lens tool and from the perspective of the parent. Tummy time, compression garments, early supported sitting for grasp and reach, ON-Time use of a supported stepping device, and orthotics are all used in the context of coaching in natural environments and family-centered care.
