What is the difference between OT, physiotherapy, and speech therapy for Down Syndrome?

唐氏综合征(职业治疗)

Physiotherapy targets gross motor skills, sitting, crawling, walking, balance. OT targets fine motor skills, self-care, sensory processing, and daily living activities. Speech therapy addresses communication, feeding difficulties, and oral motor control. Most children with Down Syndrome need all three. Physio helps your child walk. OT helps your child feed, dress, and write. Speech helps your child communicate and swallow safely.
