AB This  case  study  focuses  on  the  ongoing  physical  therapy  management  of  Carrie,  a  child  with  Down  syndrome.  Carrie  has  received  physical  therapy  services  from  the  age  of  4  weeks  to  the  present.  For  individuals  with  Down  syndrome,  episodes  of  physical  therapy  services  may  be  necessary  across  the  life  span  to  address  changing  issues  as  growth  occurs  and  as  the  child  gains  increasing  independence  in  various  environments.  Functional  demands  change  as  the  individual  moves  from  infancy,  through  the  school  years,  and  into  adulthood.
