AB Individuals  with  Down  syndrome  commonly  present  with  impairments  in  strength  (Cowley  et  al.,  2010),  range  of  motion  (ROM),  tone  (Caird,  Wills,  &  Dormans,  2006),  balance  and  coordination  (Galli  et  al.,  2009),  aerobic  capacity  (Cowley  et  al.,  2010),  and  sensory  processing  (Bruni,  Cameron,  Dua,  &  Noy,  2010)  leading  to  delays  in  acquisition  of  motor  skills  and  to  functional  limitations.  Associated  impairments,  such  as  cognitive  impairment  (Rachidi  &  Lopes,  2008),  cardiovascular  pathology  (Bergstrom  et  al.,  2016),  and  frequent  middle  ear  infections  (Patiroglu,  Cansever,  &  Bektas,  2018),  may  also  have  a  negative  impact  on  motor  skill  acquisition  and  activities.
