What therapies are used for Down syndrome?

Therapies play a key role in helping children with Down syndrome reach their potential. Common therapies include:

• Speech therapy – improves communication, feeding, and social interaction.
• Occupational therapy – builds independence with daily tasks like dressing, writing, and self-care.
• Physiotherapy – supports motor skills, strength, and coordination.
• Behaviour therapy – helps with learning, emotional regulation, and positive behaviours.
• Psychology support – supports mental health and resilience

These therapies are often NDIS-funded in Australia.
