This article reviews studies evaluating the effectiveness of early intervention for children with Down syndrome. Evaluation of early intervention programs is difficult and challenging, given the wide variety of experimental designs and the limitations of research studies.

The first step of all healthcare actions aimed at promoting an appropriate quality of life for infants affected by Down syndrome (DS) is to ensure their survival. This investigation was aimed at estimating the infant mortality rate of infants affected with DS in urban populations of South America. T
