Putting DS kids through programs like speech therapy, physical therapy and occupational therapy can help them develop social skills and muscle tone that they need to survive. Also, DS children may be helped by extra attention throughout school. Physical therapy will help develop muscle tone and fine-tune motor skills. Speech therapy and extra help in school will help DS kids get used to the “real world” and to develop social skills. Occupational does much the same thing; a DS kid is simply guided through daily activities (occupations) by a trained professional.
