Down Syndrome is a genetic condition caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 21, leading to developmental delays and physical features associated with the condition. Children with Down Syndrome may experience a range of developmental challenges, including delayed speech, motor skills, and cognitive abilities. However, with early intervention and supportive therapies, many children with Down Syndrome can lead fulfilling lives, achieving developmental milestones at their own pace.

At Solaris Pediatric Therapy, we provide comprehensive therapeutic support tailored to meet the unique needs of children with Down Syndrome. Our occupational and physical therapists work on improving gross and fine motor skills, helping children develop better coordination, balance, and strength for daily activities. We also address issues related to low muscle tone, a common characteristic in children with Down Syndrome, through targeted exercises and positioning techniques.

Speech and language development is another critical area for children with Down Syndrome. Our speech-language pathologists focus on improving communication skills, including articulation, language comprehension, and social communication. We utilize both verbal and non-verbal techniques to help children express themselves effectively.

We believe in empowering families by providing them with the tools and strategies to support their child’s development at home. With consistent therapy and family involvement, children with Down Syndrome can build their independence, improve their communication skills, and enjoy a higher quality of life.
