Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.68/2 (Mars-avril 2014) . - p.167-176 Titre : School Function in Students With Down Syndrome Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lisa A. Daunhauer, Auteur ; Deborah J. Fidler, Auteur ; Elizabeth Will, Auteur Année de publication : 2014 Article en page(s) : p.167-176 Langues : Français (fre) Résumé : People with Down syndrome (DS) are predisposed to specific areas of relative developmental strength and challenge, but it is unclear whether and how this profile affects participation in school and community settings. In this study we characterized the nature of school participation and performance of functional tasks in the school context for 26 elementary students with DS (mean age = 7.86 yr; standard deviation = 1.75). Students participated in assessments of cognitive status and language development. Their teachers completed the School Function Assessment (Coster, Deeney, Haltiwanger, & Haley, 1998) questionnaire and a standardized questionnaire on executive functioning (EF). Students demonstrated a pronounced pattern of assistance- and adaptation-related needs across various domains of school function. The strongest predictor of school function was EF skills, as reported by teachers (adjusted R2 = .47, p = .003). Findings from this study should inform future intervention and school-related planning for elementary school students with DS.
