Developmental data were obtained on 40 children with Down's syndrome by an interdisciplinary team during an ongoing early intervention program. Interventive methods are described. Results are compared with available data on children with Down's syndrome who were not in early intervention programs. Comparisons of developmental progress are also made of children begun in the early intervention program before six months of age with those begun after six months of age. Conclusions from the study indicate that early intervention helps the child in earlier attainment of many developmental tasks and enhances functioning of the family unit.
一个跨学科团队在一项正在进行的早期干预项目中，收集了40名唐氏综合征患儿的发育数据。文中描述了干预方法。将结果与未参加早期干预项目的唐氏综合征患儿的现有数据进行了比较。还对在6个月龄前开始参加早期干预项目的儿童与6个月龄后开始参加的儿童的发育进展进行了比较。该研究得出的结论表明，早期干预有助于儿童更早地完成许多发育任务，并增强家庭单位的功能。
