Animal Fun Program for Movement Development in Down Syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests whether a fun program involving animals helps children with Down syndrome improve their movement and physical skills. Researchers will work with children aged 6–9 to see if this approach strengthens balance, coordination, and overall mobility.
