Perceptual-Motor Behavior in Down Syndrome is a comprehensive collection of contemporary research and provides readers a window into the behavioral variability exhibited by persons with Down syndrome. With this resource researchers, educators, parents, and students will gain an increased understanding that perceptual-motor behavior in Down syndrome is often adaptive and appropriate—a result of environmental experience and development. The ultimate goal is to circumvent, or at least minimize, some of the general and specific processing challenges associated with Down syndrome. Internationally recognized contributors from 10 different countries cover aspects of sensory, cognitive, and movement processes in infants, children, and adults with Down syndrome.
Specifically addressed are the differences and similarities among persons with Down syndrome, people with other disabilities, and non-disabled people. Use this up-to-date resource in current program planning, educational initiatives, and future research efforts.
