Begin Occupational Therapy

Just like with physical therapy, begin connecting with local occupational therapists who understand the unique needs of children with Down syndrome.

Many therapy clinics offer multiple services, so you might find that your physical and occupational therapy can happen at the same location. This can make scheduling much easier for your family.

Remember to advocate for early intervention programs. These therapists are skilled at making therapy feel like play, which is exactly what your child needs at this stage.
