Introduction: Down syndrome is the most common congenital chromosomal disorder. In terms of genetic causes of mental impairment, this condition is the most prevalent. The typical characteristics of students with intellectual disability, such as down syndrome are limited attention span and motor skills. Attention is the first stage in information processing. It collects parts of the environmental information for later processing. However, there are dearth of studies which compares attention span of down syndrome children with healthy children of same age group. Aim: The aim of the study is to examine the attention span of down syndrome children and comparing their attention span with healthy children of same age group. Materials and methods: The present study had a cross-sectional comparative research design. 20 subjects were taken conveniently which included 10 down syndrome and 10 healthy children (8-14 years old). The attention span was measured by using Stroop color and word test and analyzed with independent t-test. Results: Independent t-test indicated a significant difference between the attention span of down syndrome and healthy children. Conclusion: This research evaluated that down syndrome children have less attention span than healthy children of same age group. Therefore, down syndrome children need more attention training. Keywords: Attention span, Down syndrome, healthy children, Comparison.

“…2 Well-timed and planned physical therapy intervention can improve the quality of life of persons with DS. 3 Evidence exists for effective approaches to physical therapy intervention for persons with DS, but variability in treatment approach, clinical presentation, and individual and family needs and priorities can complicate the development of optimal physical therapy treatment plans. 4 A clinical practice guideline (CPG) is a set of recommendations for the evaluation and treatment of a specific condition based on current research, expert opinion, and parent/child values.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this work was to describe input from key partners to inform the scope and priorities for a clinical practice guideline (CPG) pertaining to physical therapy services provided to children and youth with Down syndrome (DS). Methods: A 68-item survey was completed by interventionists and parents (n = 296) of children and youth with DS. Results: The most prevalent physical therapy interventions currently being performed included tummy time, postural control activities, activity-based interventions, and play-based interventions. Key partners agreed on the importance of specific clinical outcomes, needing guidance on frequency and dosage of interventions, common barriers to physical therapy intervention, and needing information for discharge criteria in a future CPG. Conclusions: The results of this survey have given the CPG committee the necessary information to inform the CPG process for children and youth with DS.
