    As stated in the article Children with Down syndrome: Discovering the Joy of Movement “several investigators have noted that children with DS tend to treat movement sequence as a series of separate tasks, causing their movement to appear jerky and hesitant” (Jobling et al. 34). Other difficulties that are presented in children with DS are movement control, poor posture and balance, and motor difficulties (34). In this article a structure called Framework for Development of Language and Movement was created to address development of awareness of body, space, and effort, development of language of movement, time for exploration/practice, and communication and interaction with others. For body awareness, breath and learning about how limbs function in movement through total body connectivity: Breath, Core-Distal, Head-Tail, Upper-Lower, Body-Half, and Cross-Lateral, can aid those children with DS (Hackney). Space awareness explores the body in relationship to space, but also to shape.…
