ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how practicing Down Dog Yoga can help improve pre-writing skills in children with Down Syndrome, a condition that affects their physical and mental development. The study will include 32 children aged 4 to 8 years old who can stand and walk independently. It will take place over 10 months at Bahawal Victoria Hospital, where researchers will assess the children's writing readiness using specific tests designed to measure their skills.

To participate, children must be between 4 and 8 years old and able to stand and walk on their own. Unfortunately, children with certain health issues, such as injuries or deformities, won't be eligible for this study. If your child qualifies and participates, they will take part in yoga sessions and undergo assessments to track their progress. This trial aims to see if yoga can be a fun and effective way to support children's learning and development.
