Abstract

Various interventions aimed at addressing sensory challenges are available for Down Syndrome children, but interventions made based on the results of sensory intervention are exciting challenges to research. This study aims to determine the improvement of sensory abilities through stimuli designed based on the results of sensory. This study used a pre-post quantitative method that measured the sensory skills of Down syndrome children. The study was conducted on 8 participants of Down Syndrome children for 12 months. Data analyzed using the Wilcoxon rank test obtained an Asymp value. Sig. (2-tailed) or p-value < 0.05 so that the conclusion is rejected H0 or sufficient evidence that the pretest and post-test sensory development values are different and Asymp values are obtained. The application of examination-based sensory interventions reportedly provided significant improvements in sensory skills in 8 Down Syndrome children after receiving based interventions by following procedures and validated interventions in the form of guidance for parents for 12 months of routine home interventions.

Abstract

Background: Existing interventions to improve verbal expression for children with Down Syndrome (DS) often neglect sensory and motor development. However, these abilities are essential for receiving input from the environment and responding through gestures during intervention. This study aimed to develop interventions through sensory and motor development that enhance the expressive verbal capabilities of DS children in articulating sounds, syllables, and words. Methods: This study used quantitative methods with an experimental design. Clinician-rated questionnaires measured the pre-test and post-test verbal expressive abilities of DS children who received the Cosy Development (CD) intervention for 12 months. Participants consisted of 8 DS children, ages ranged 4-15 years. This study was conducted at Tridiva Learning House, Bandung, Indonesia. Families of the DS children were trained by researchers regarding the intervention guidelines, and they performed the CD intervention on their children at home. Results: The Wilcoxon rank test showed a statistically significant improvement in verbal expressiveness among the eight DS children who received the CD intervention for 12 months, with p-values ranging from 0.016 to 0.008. Conclusion: The CD intervention, which integrated sensory and motor developments, effectively improved the verbal expressiveness of DS children. The CD intervention was practical and comfortable for DS children, making it a promising approach for improving their communication abilities.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi kemanjuran intervensi motorik berbasis keluarga dalam meningkatkan tingkat konsentrasi pada anak dengan sindrom Down menggunakan desain Single Subject Research (SSR). Dua anak usia sekolah dasar dengan sindrom Down berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini. Intervensi terdiri dari aktivitas motorik terstruktur, yang dilaksanakan di lingkungan rumah dengan keterlibatan orang tua. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan pengamatan perilaku dan penilaian konsentrasi standar di seluruh fase awal, intervensi, dan tindak lanjut. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan konsentrasi Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan konsentrasi yang signifikan dengan rata-rata 40% dan 35% setelah intervensi.  Temuan ini menunjukkan potensi aktivitas motorik berbasis keluarga untuk mendukung perkembangan kognitif pada anak-anak dengan sindrom Down dan rekomendasi untuk menerapkan intervensi serupa dalam konteks Pendidikan dan terapi.
