ABSTRACT:

My research proposal will focus on children with Down Syndrome and the advantages of having them play a sport. Many parents focus their attention on making sure that their child gets enough education that they lose focus on enrolling them in a sport. Just as much as these children need therapy, they also need a distraction from their daily life style. In order to do this, I will handout surveys to parents that have kids with Down Syndrome.
