BRITO, Ariella; SILVA, Iris Lima e; CARDOSO, Fabrício  and  BERESFORD, Heron. Avaliação do perfil cinestésico-corporal de crianças com Síndrome de Down: um parâmetro para se atender à proposta das Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para a educação especial. Ensaio: aval. pol. públ. educ. [online]. 2009, vol.17, n.63, pp.341-353. ISSN 0104-4036.

This article aims to evaluate the corporal-movement profile of 20 children, with -Down's syndrome DS, between 06 and 12 years of age, resident in the Southern Region of the State of Tocatins, Brazil. The purpose of this work is to establish cognitive-motor parameters which are able to found heterogeneous practices in the pedagogic-policy project of the curriculum, in the teaching methodology and also, in the evaluation of these individuals, in agreement with the National Curricular Guidelines for Special Education (MEC/SEESP, 1998), thus favoring the education and social integration of people with such special needs. This aim was achieved with a context evaluation in which the "Operational Portage" Inventory (Williams & Aiello, 2001) and the protocol of evaluation of motor ability of Bruininks - Oseretsky (BRUININKS, 1978) were used. It was concluded that individuals with Down's syndrome present a deficit of cognitive-motor ability, which is related the fine motor coordination and also a limited development of language, whether oral or written, resulting in lack of success in school chores. Finally, an important aspect had caught attention, that is, although some individuals with Down's syndrome have got a lower level of cerebral deficiency or of motor function, they can achieve success in a great variety of tasks, even in the school environment.
