This research is intended to help parents, families, teachers and other practitioners who work with children of fewer than six years old. Parents wish to know what developmental progress to expect for a child with Down syndrome and how to help the child progress as fast as possible.

The sample of this research only focuses on the children with Down syndrome from the organization and society in Malaysia and typically developing children from birth to six years old.
