Case study: Damion Ritter, Down syndrome Down syndrome is characterized by significant limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior (Uyanik & Kayihan, 2010). The framework of development, motor control, sensory integration, neurodevelopmental and behavioral (FOR) in therapy are effective methods used by occupational therapists (OT) in their interventions in combined or individual programs (Uyanik & Kayihan, 2010 ). All used to treat children with Down syndrome and developmental delays (Uyanik & Kayihan, 2010). Below are the results of the research based on the use of these FORs and the methods that will be used in the Damion Ritter case study. The developmental framework is used with children with Down syndrome to help improve their limited or delayed development in cognitive skills, communication skills, social, and emotional functioning (Karaaslan & Mahoney, 2013). A successful developmental approach intervention plan will help improve gross and fine motor skills, language skills, social-emotional skills, and ADLs through education, practice, and repetition (Karaaslan & Mahoney, 2013). The plan could also be brought into the child's home with a series of activities provided by the therapist (Karaaslan & Mahoney, 2013). Focused, preparatory activities such as dressing boards or dressing a doll can be used in this approach to help the child master and progress to the next step in an activity such as dressing (Karaaslan & Mahoney, 2013). Another framework used with Down syndrome children is the motor control approach (Uyanik & Kayihan, 2010). Normal development occurs in stages, normal movements and functions are essential for a... half of the article......
