| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Children with Down syndrome are often associated with intellectual disability with perioral hypotonicity as well as poor muscle tonus.
We undertook oral myofunctional training.We observed an improvement in Kyoto Scale of Psychological Development 2001 only in children who achieved daily training averagely 3 times or more, and there was a positive correlation between training frequency and language development in the Mitsuba Language Developmental Test. The parents reported other favorable changes in children with the training, such as alleviation of eating and swallowing, following the indications from adults, walking stabilization, enrichment in facial expressions, and staying cold-free.Based on these results, we concluded that oral myofunctional training promotes language development and the frequency of the training (more than twice a day) is important to obtain the benefit.
