Abstract
Follow up Adaptive Behaviour Scale (ABS) assessments were undertaken on a population of people with Down syndrome, after a mean period of five years. Participlants were randomly selected within age stratified groups: 20 people from the original age bands 20–29 years, 30—39 years, 40–29 years, 50–59 years, and all 12 people in the original age band 60+ years. Examinations were successfully completed in 83 cases. Loss of skills was found to increase with age, and was common over the age of 40 years. The study examines age-related deterioration in ABS scores and subscores.
