“…Regarding the motor component, some studies have shown better motor skill performance in children with ASD, compared to children with DS [52][53][54], which is in line with our data. However, both populations seem to present motor difficulties that arise because of sensory processing difficulties [21,55], such as perceptual-motor coupling [56,57]. For example, authors like Simon et al [58] found difficulties in performing tasks such as grasping, throwing, and catching, which seemed to affect the establishment of essential interaction formats in language acquisition in a group of young children with DS [59,60].…”

This research aims to compare the developmental profiles of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and children with Down Syndrome (DS) between the ages of 3 and 6 years. The study examines whether these developmental disorders share common developmental milestones or exhibit distinctive characteristics. A total of 43 children, 23 with DS and 20 with ASD, participated in the study. Cognitive and language skills were assessed using standardized tools, including the Battelle Developmental Inventory, Reynell Developmental Language Scales III, and NEPSY-II battery. The results indicated that children with ASD outperformed children with DS in the areas of fine motor skills, gross motor skills, and communication. Additionally, children with ASD demonstrated higher scores in language comprehension and expressive language, compared to children with DS. Significant correlations were found between motor skills and communication abilities. Neuropsychological evaluations revealed significant differences between the two groups in various tasks, such as the comprehension of instructions, body part naming and identification, and recognition of emotions. These findings contribute to our understanding of the similarities and differences between ASD and DS, shedding light on the dissociation between cognition and language and its impact on adaptive functioning in these populations.

“…Além disso, houve diferença significativa no domínio atividade escolar quando comparados os percentuais das pessoas com a síndrome com os percentuais dos seus cuidadores. Apesar de nenhum estudo ter comparado especificamente o relato de pais/cuidadores e o autorrelato sobre a qualidade de vida das pessoas com síndrome de Down, algumas pesquisas avaliaram a percepção somente da qualidade de vida de pais/cuidadores de pessoas com a síndrome, demonstrando que o autorrelato desses indivíduos vem sendo ignorado (BECKER;DUSING, 2010;CARRADA et al 2019;EL-MAKSOUD;ABD-ELMONEM;REZK-ALLAH, 2016;HADDAD et al, 2018;NEWTON, 2018;NQCOBO et al, 2019;ROFAIL et al, 2017;ROJNUEANGNIT et al, 2020;SARIMSKI, 2019;SHIELDS et al, 2018;XANTHOPOULOS et al, 2017).

“…Este estudo retrata a relevância de dar voz e oportunidade as pessoas com síndrome de Down em autorrelatar sua qualidade de vida, além de poder comparar com a percepção de seus cuidadores. Na literatura algumas pesquisas avaliaram a percepção somente de pais/cuidadores sobre a qualidade de pessoas com a síndrome, demonstrando que o autorrelato desses indivíduos vem sendo ignorado (BECKER;DUSING, 2010;CARRADA et al 2019;EL-MAKSOUD;ABD-ELMONEM;REZK-ALLAH, 2016;HADDAD et al, 2018;NEWTON, 2018;NQCOBO et al, 2019;ROFAIL et al, 2017;ROJNUEANGNIT et al, 2020;SARIMSKI, 2019;SHIELDS et al, 2018;XANTHOPOULOS et al, 2017).…”

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a qualidade de vida de crianças, adolescentes e adultos comsíndrome de Down, segundo o autorrelato e relato dos seus cuidadores.MÉTODOS: Estudo analítico e transversal, conduzido com crianças, adolescentes eadultos com síndrome de Down e seus cuidadores. O estudo foi desenvolvido emtrês instituições filantrópicas de reabilitação. Os dados foram coletados por meiode um questionário sociodemográfico e pelo questionário Pediatric Quality of LifeInventory 4.0 (PedsQL 4.0).RESULTADOS: Entre as pessoas com síndrome de Down, a maior parte era dosexo masculino (52,6%) e adultos (36,8%). A amostra foi composta por 38participantes, 19 com síndrome de Down e 19 cuidadores. A maioria doscuidadores foi constituida predominantemente pelas mães (89,5%). Ospercentuais de qualidade de vida evidenciaram boa percepção da qualidade devida, tanto no autorrelato quanto no relato dos cuidadores. De acordo com osdomínios do PedsQL 4.0, a maioria das pessoas com síndrome de Downautorrelataram pior percepção de qualidade de vida no domínio capacidadefísica e melhor percepção em atividade escolar. Já no relato dos cuidadores, odomínio mais prejudicado foi atividade escolar e o domínio com melhorpercepção foi capacidade física. Houve diferença significativa somente nodomínio atividade escolar (p=0,02) quando comparados os percentuais doautorrelato e do relato do cuidador.CONCLUSÕES: Pessoas com síndrome de Down descreveram percepçõesdiferentes das descritas por seus cuidadores, percebendo sua saúde física como oaspecto mais prejudicado, indicando a importância de intervenções clínicas quepossam ajudá-los a vencer os desafios. Este estudo ressalta a importância doautorrelato.

Down syndrome causes a reduction in cognitive abilities, with visual-motor skills being particularly affected. In this work, we have focused on this skill in order to stimulate better learning. The proposal relies on stimulating the cognitive visual-motor skills of individuals with Down Syndrome (DS) using exercises with a gestural interaction platform based on the KINECT sensor named TANGO:H, the goal being to improve them. To validate the proposal, an experimental single-case study method was designed using two groups: a control group and an experimental one, with similar cognitive ages. Didactic exercises were provided to the experimental group using visual cognitive stimulation. These exercises were created on the TANGO:H Designer, a platform that was designed for gestural interaction using the KINECT sensor. As a result, TANGO:H allows for visual-motor cognitive stimulation through the movement of hands, arms, feet and head. The “Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities (ITPA)” was applied to both groups as a pre-test and post-test in its four reference sections: visual comprehension, visual-motor sequential memory, visual association, and visual integration. Two checks were made, one using the longitudinal comparison of the pre-test/post-test of the experimental group, and another that relied on comparing the difference of the means of the pre-test/post-test. We also used an observational methodology for the working sessions from the experimental group. Although the statistical results do not show significant differences between the two groups, the results of the observations exhibited an improvement in visual-motor cognitive skills.
