As a result of developmental delay, the mentally handicapped DS children usually have problems with fine motor skills, including coordination and manipulation; as well as hypotonia, having low muscle tone which affects each DS child differently and can affect different parts of the body differently (Winders, 1997). Moreover, mentally handicapped DS children are on average less strong, have less stamina and more problems in the execution of complex motor tasks; other problems in eye-hand coordination, dexterity (the ability to use hands skilfully) and reaction speed are also recorded (Groden,1969). Visual Problems DS usually has negative effects on the developing eye and vision.
