Abstract
Introduction: Fine motor and language skills in children with Down Syndrome (DS) have important role in independence and social participation in daily life. The objective of this study is to know whether there is relationship between achievement age of fine motor and language skills in children with DS.
Methods: This study was analytic observational study with cross sectional design. Subjects of this study was forty six children with DS, with the range of age 15-199 months. Examination had done after the informed consents were obtained from the parents. Milestones development, weight-age%, length-age%, head circumference-age% charts for DS were used to examined subjects.
Results: There was significant relationship between achievement age of fine motor and language skills in children with DS (p< 0,05). There were no significant relationship between weight-age%, length-age%, head circumference-age% with achievement age of fine motor and language skills in children with DS (p>0,05).
Conclusion: Fine motor skill stimulation was expected to improve language skill, and vice versa in children with DS.
