We compared the physical growth, nutritional status, and echocardiographic findings in children aged 3-7 years with Down syndrome who had no congenital heart disease. Thirty such patients who consecutively referred to the Division of Cardiology, Department of Child Health, Medical School, University of Indonesia/Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, were compared with sex and age matched controls consisted of normal children attending the Department. It appears that growth and nutritional status of children with Down syndrome tended to be retarded when compared to those of the controls. However, no significant difference were found on the M-mode echocardiographic values of the left ventricle, except that the left ventricular posterior wall thickness in study subjects was more that that of the controls. We concluded that although the pulmonary architecture of patients with Down syndrome is thought to be less developed than that of normal children, it does not affect the left ventricular measurements and function as measured by M-mode echocardiography.

Agnieszka Jędrzejowska, Umiejętności komunikacyjne dzieci z zespołem Downa [Communication skills of children with Down Syndrome]. Interdyscyplinarne Konteksty Pedagogiki Specjalnej, nr 22, Poznań 2018. Pp. 201-218. Adam Mickiewicz University Press. ISSN 2300-391X. DOI: https://doi.org/10.14746/ikps.2018.22.12 The purpose of this article is to present the results of research concern setting of functional cooperation with the interlocutor in children with Down syndrome in a peer group. Analysis of the results indicates the relationship between methods of therapy and development of children with Down syndrome. The methods of Alterantive and Augmentative Communication (AAC) are important in achieving success in building relationships for children with problems with verbal communication. Secondly, peer group is important to increase social skills. This research show that children with Downe syndrome need similar friends. This leads to the coclussion that group with homogeneous disability is area of development.

The effects of Down syndrome (DS) on motor development have been widely reported over the years, particularly with the profusion of research in the past 10 years. Although more research is needed to fully understand the relationship between DS and motor development, there is a need to synthesize the current findings. Henderson (1985, 1986) and Reid (1985) reviewed the literature regarding the motor development of children with DS. While Henderson’s review was extremely well done, certain recent studies can add to our understanding of the motor characteristics of these children. Furthermore, Henderson did not examine factors such as cardiac, anatomical, and sensory deficits that can affect motor development. Therefore this paper reviews the extant literature regarding the motor development of children with DS in terms of health and medical conditions that can affect this development as well as the motor development of infants and all others with DS. Finally, implications for future research and programming are discussed.

Practicing toilet training from parents to children is quite challenging especially if the child has special needs. For children with Down syndrome, the habit of toilet training takes longer than normal children who can be completed before school age. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Mototrain on maternal knowledge and independence of toilet training in children with Down syndrome. Mototrain is an acronym for Module of Toilet Training. The population and sample in this study were parents and students with Down syndrome who had not yet completed their toilet training independence, namely 31 students spread across Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, Grade 4 and Grade 5 in SD C Alpha Kumara. The research design was "Quasi experimental pre-post test with control group", with a purposive sampling technique of 16 mothers and children in the intervention group and 15 mothers and children in the control group. The results showed an increase in maternal knowledge about toilet training and the independence of toilet training in children who used enough after being given psychoeducation and habituation in accordance with MOTOTRAIN (p-value <0.05).

Introduction: Growth and development assessment in children is measured by the head circumference measurement or as known as occipital-frontal circumference. In cases of genetic abnormalities such as Down syndrome which is caused by extra chromosome 21, give distinct features in the craniofacial profile, hence the author finds it is useful to observe the changes in their growth, mainly the head circumference. The purpose of this research is to analized comparison between head circumference measurement in children with Down syndrome in Sekolah Luar Biasa-C and normal children, Methods: Type of this research is analytical with surveying technique, using cross sectional studies on 20 children with Down syndrome and 160 normal children 6 to 13 years old. The sample subject. Based on anthropometry landmark on point Glabella to Opisthocranion, measurement is taken using a non-stretchable, flexible measuring tape. Result: There are significant differences between the head circumference of children in both group according to age and gender; except age 6 male, with the mean value of children with Down syndrome compare to normal circumference measurement were smaller 3 to 5 cm behind the normal children in this research. Conclusion: The head circumference of the children with Down syndrome over all from age 6 to 13 years old were smaller than the regular children in same age and same gender.

Sleep problems have a bi-directional impact on the daytime performance of children, parental well-being, and overall family functioning in the general population. Children with Down syndrome (DS) are at a high risk of sleep problems, yet the relationship between sleep problems, adaptive functioning, and family stress in children with DS is not well documented. We examined the relationship between sleep (i.e., duration and quality) and child and parent/family functioning. Sixty-six children with DS wore an actigraph for a week to assess their sleep duration and sleep efficiency. Their parents completed ratings on child sleep duration and parasomnias, child adaptive functioning, parental depression and sleep, and family stress. The parents’ reports of their children’s sleep duration were associated with parental depressive symptoms. The parents’ reports of their children’s restless sleep behaviors were associated with poorer performances in child-compliant/calm behaviors, worse parental sleep, and negative parental feelings and sibling relationships. The findings from actigraph measures of the children’s sleep demonstrated that greater sleep efficiency was associated with greater child adaptive functioning and fewer parental depressive symptoms. The study findings provide preliminary evidence that sleep problems are related to child adaptive functioning, parental functioning, and family stress in children with DS.
