Summary

Down syndrome, a genetic condition resulting from an additional copy of chromosome 21, manifests with distinct facial features and intellectual challenges. Individuals with Down syndrome often face delays in motor skills, speech, and language development, alongside potential health issues. Down syndrome commonly encounter difficulties in both gross and fine motor functions due to factors like low muscle tone. Nonetheless, targeted interventions, including physical, significantly enhance motor skills. Daily living activities for individuals with Down syndrome cover personal care and household tasks, with structured routines and consistent support fostering independence. Group Task-Oriented Training, focusing on skill improvement and social interaction through collaborative activities, offers a meaningful approach to enhancing the overall quality of life for individuals with Down syndrome.
