Ans: D
A high-fiber intake is important for children with Down syndrome because their lack of muscle tone may decrease peristalsis, leading to constipation. Early intervention programs with special education are important to promote growth and development. The child should be integrated into mainstream education whenever possible. Children with Down syndrome should undergo thyroid testing yearly and see the dentist every 6 months.
