    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Developmental Disabilities
    • Nutrition

    Background:

    • Children with Down syndrome (DS) frequently experience feeding and nutritional challenges.
    • Prevalence of feeding problems in DS children under 6.5 years old was high (80%) before 1970.

    Observation:

    • An interdisciplinary intervention program using group sessions was implemented in 1970.
    • The program targeted nutritional, behavioral, and environmental factors related to food and feeding.

    Findings:

    • The intervention successfully prevented or resolved most feeding and nutritional issues in 21 children with DS.
    • Obesity incidence decreased, though not entirely eliminated, in the DS population.
    • Follow-up at six years showed resolution of professional concerns regarding food and eating in 16 children.

    Implications:

    • Early, interdisciplinary intervention can effectively manage feeding and nutritional problems in children with Down syndrome.
    • Addressing behavioral and environmental factors is crucial for successful outcomes.
    • Reducing obesity and improving eating habits are key benefits of such programs.
