Task training to improve hand and eye coordination in children with down syndrome
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests whether a task-oriented training program can improve how children with down syndrome coordinate their vision and hand movements, and how well they use their arms and hands. It may help children who have difficulty with these skills.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have down syndrome.
- Your child should be between 5 and 12 years old.
- Your child must have poor visual-motor skills, meaning trouble with hand-eye coordination.
- Your child cannot have severe intellectual disability.
