Abstract
The motor development stage is the period in which children explore their motor skills and, depending on the stimulation of the environment and the proposal of tasks, they may achieve a satisfactory global development. Children with Down’s Syndrome can achieve satisfactory and even adequate development for their chronological age if they receive the appropriate stimulation, even if late in acquiring motor skills. In adolescence, the work of motor development should be continued with specialized activities such as sports so that the development acquired is maintained and refined. The objective of this article is to present the motor stimulation program developed at the HCFMUSP Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Institute. It is believed that an appropriately structured motor stimulation program for children and adolescents with Down’s Syndrome acts as an important means of intervention to provide the proper development of essential and specialized motor skills.
