Question 1
Research suggests that intensive interventions to help infants with Down syndrome develop motor skills are most likely to:
◦ have little impact on motor development.
◦ increase motor ability to levels equivalent to those of typically developing infants.
◦ lead to moderate motor growth, about a 2- or 3-month gain.
◦ lead to significant motor growth, up to a 12-month gain.
Question 2
"Total communication" is a system for children with special needs, focusing on:
◦ communicating with electronic sound boards and other technologies.
◦ the use of verbalization and sign language for communication.
◦ encouraging early literacy skills with visual and tactile cues.
◦ using acoustical adaptations to help reduce background noise.
