▼ In recent years, there has been an increased interest in accurately measuring physical activity levels with accelerometers. Two distinct approaches have been used to estimate physical activity levels with accelerometers are vertical axis activity counts and vector magnitude (VM). Although previous studies evaluated these two distinct approaches for individuals without disabilities, employing VM may have a greater advantages for people with Down syndrome (DS) because of their unique movement pattern of increase movements along the mediolateral axis during walking. The purpose of this study was to identify which approaches, to physical activity monitoring, can better predict physical activity levels for people with and without DS while walking. A total of 37 participants completed the testing protocol, 18 participants with DS (age 19 – 64 years; 32.56 14.16) and 19 participants without DS (nDS; age 19 – 64 years; 31.61 12.90). All participants took part in one session of data collection involving walking at different speeds. Participants wore a GT3X+ triaxial accelerometer on their right hips to measure activity counts, a Oxycon Mobile System on the front of their body to measure energy expenditure, and a heart rate monitor to measure approximate relative intensity during testing protocols. All participants were asked to walk at three different speeds for six minutes at each speed of self-selected speed, slow speed (2 mph), and fast speed (4 mph) in a figure “8” shape with a five minute break between each trial. During the slow and fast speed trials, a trained pacer along with a calibrated wheel and speedometer walked in front of all participants to ensure maintenance of speed. The results showed the correlation between energy expenditure and accelerometer outputs, both vertical axis activity counts and VM for individuals without DS are 0.75 at a group levels using linear mixed effect models. And the correlation coefficient between energy expenditure and vertical axis activity counts and VM for people with DS are 0.53 and 0.64, respectively. There werer no significant difference between the correlations for the without DS group and a correlation approaching significance for the DS grou when comparing the correlation with energy expenditure between vertical axis activity counts and VM. Significant differences were found between groups when comparing correlation coefficients with energy expenditure and vertical axis activity counts using z – test (z = 1.99, p-value = 0.046). No significant difference was found between groups when comparing correlation coefficient between energy expenditure and VM (z = 1.06, p-value = 0.29). For people without DS, this study supported that using either approach yielded similar results. This result was surprising given the unique characteristics of people with DS. Additional studies are needed to continue to determine the accuracy of the accelerometer in measuring physical activity levels for people with DS accounting for their unique characteristic.

▼ Breastfeeding reduces the likelihood of selected adverse health outcomes such as postpartum depression in the mother and acute otitis media in the child. Learning to breastfeed can present challenges, however, and may become overwhelming to a parent. Infants with Down syndrome (DS) have physical features and medical issues that may complicate breastfeeding even further. While these characteristics have long been recognized, the experience of breastfeeding an infant with DS has not been previously assessed within the United States population. The purpose of the current study was to gather both qualitative and quantitative information pertaining to breastfeeding from mothers of children with DS. An online survey of 56 questions was posted on the websites of three different DS organizations. A total of 98 responses were collected. Rates of breastfeeding in this sample were found to be 84% for initiation (N=98) and 56% and 42% for duration to 6 and 12 months, respectively (N=78), all of which exceed the general population rates in the United States of 73%, 42%, and 21%. Previous breastfeeding experience, breastfeeding normality amongst the participant’s family and friends, birth order, and days spent in the hospital influenced breastfeeding, while congenital medical conditions, surgery, poor infant health, and belief in the capability of infants with DS to breastfeed did not. Substantial difficulty with breastfeeding was reported in relation to the diagnosis, however, which may have been partially the result of the reported inconsistency and deficiency of information that the participants were provided regarding breastfeeding an infant with DS. The overwhelming majority of v participants expressed the desire to breastfeed and described an increased motivation in response to the diagnosis, with the hope of improving their child’s health and development. These data provide more complete information that medical professionals may use when communicating with families of an infant with DS.

▼ There is silence on Namibian families who have a member with Down syndrome (DS). Hence, research is needed regarding the experiences, stress and well-being of families who are caregivers of a family member with Down syndrome. This is important to parents who begin their married lives with a Down syndrome child in the family since it will provide them with a balanced perspective of what to expect. In addition, most studies on the experiences of caring for a Down syndrome were conducted outside the African context. No scientific information is available regarding the experiences and well-being of families as caregivers of Down syndrome children in Namibia. Furthermore, while studies have been carried out regarding the experiences of caregivers by utilising the disease model, no studies could be traced regarding the well-being of caregivers using a positive psychological paradigm. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences and well-being of caregivers of a family member with Down syndrome in Namibia. A qualitative research design was used. The caregivers of children with Down syndrome were interviewed. The responses of participants were transcribed verbatim and themes were analysed. Various themes emerged from this study about the caregivers’ experiences and well-being when taking care of a family member with Down syndrome. The study further revealed that caregivers are faced with a variety of challenges such as having to dress, feed, bath and carry around their child because of delayed motor development. Some caregivers experience difficulties with finances, employment, differences with partners and claimed that they receive insufficient support from their families and the community, which affects their wellbeing. Despite the challenges and difficulties, caregivers accepted their child and learnt through their experience compassion, humanity, patience, kindness, and forgiveness. Ultimately caregivers endure the hard times by relying on their spiritual beliefs. The Ministry of Health and Social Services (the planning and policy division) should plan and implement programmes to promote the well-being of families who are giving care to a member with Down’s syndrome. It is important that support groups be established in Namibia to provide friendship and emotional support to the caregivers. Recommendations for future research were made.

▼ Assisted reproduction technology is increasingly used for treatment of couples with subfertility. These women are usually of more advanced maternal age and carry a higher risk of fetal Down syndrome. Results from early publications showed that biochemical markers for screening of fetal Down syndrome in the second trimester were different between pregnancies from in vitro fertilization (IVF) and natural conception. This could potentially increase the false positive rate and result in unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures. Questions were raised as to whether the alterations were related to ovarian stimulation. This laid the fundamentals of a series of studies presented in this thesis with an aim to address the variations in the concentrations of markers of fetal Down syndrome and the fetal growth profile of pregnancies conceived following different assisted reproduction treatments. Studies were conducted on maternal serum and amniotic fluid alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) in the second trimester in pregnancies conceived by assisted reproduction. A reduced level of AFP in maternal serum in pregnancies with fresh embryos together with an elevated level of hCG in both maternal serum and amniotic fluid in pregnancies with frozen thawed embryos were found. This pioneer piece of data showing the raised hCG in frozen thawed embryo pregnancies with unstimulated treatment cycles spoke against the ovarian driven hypothesis, but suggested placental dysfunction be a possible underlying pathophysiology. For markers adopted in the first trimester, the level of pregnancy associated protein A (PAPP-A) was significantly reduced in pregnancies from assisted reproduction. The data on free βhCG was heterogeneous. Apart from biochemical markers, the nuchal translucency was also increased in these singleton pregnancies but not in dichorionic twins. As the direction of deviations of these markers in unaffected pregnancies from assisted reproduction resembled those observed in pregnancies affected by Down syndrome, appropriate adjustment was necessary to reduce the false positive rate for these women. Altered biochemical markers, notably a low PAPP-A level, were also associated with adverse obstetric outcomes. The changes observed in pregnancies from assisted reproduction might be a manifestation of an intrinsic placental insufficiency or fetal developmental delay. A longitudinal study was performed to examine the intrauterine fetal growth profile in these pregnancies. The rate of increment in the mean sac size, which could represent an adaptive compensatory mechanism, was significantly greater in pregnancies from assisted reproduction compared to natural conception. We concluded that pregnancies conceived after assisted reproduction technology were different from pregnancies from natural conception in terms of the concentrations of biochemical and ultrasound markers of Down syndrome. Due to the wide variation in treatment protocols and patients’ background demographics, the exact underlying…

▼ It has been demonstrated that walking is the most common form of physical activity for adults with intellectual disabilities, including Down syndrome (DS). The pedometer is common measurement tool to quantify steps walked, yet there is little evidence of the psychometric properties for individuals with intellectual disabilities, particularly DS. Thus, this work was to provide reliability and validity evidence to determine if pedometers can be used for adults with DS. The first study addressed the accuracy of spring-levered and piezoelectric pedometers under controlled conditions for adults with and without DS. It was determined that there were significant differences in measurement error between adults with and without DS for both pedometer models. Additionally, piezoelectric pedometers were found to be more accurate than spring-levered pedometers, particularly at slower walking speeds. These differences between pedometer models were also explained by increasing waist-to-hip ratios of individual participants. Absolute error rates for adults with DS were higher than the control group, but may still be acceptable for future use. The second study addressed the reliability and sources of variance in spring-levered and piezoelectric pedometer measurements under free-walking conditions for adults with and without DS. This was conducted using Generalizability (G) theory. Adults with DS demonstrated greater intra-individual variability during the while the control group, conversely, had greater residuals, or unexplained errors. The spring-levered pedometer showed problems with inter-unit variability through substantive variance components. The piezoelectric pedometer demonstrated little systematic error. Additionally, reliability coefficients were calculated for each group and model combination. The piezoelectric pedometer demonstrated higher reliability than the spring-levered based on moderate to high reliability coefficients. Collectively these studies provide evidence that piezoelectric pedometers are more accurate and more reliable than spring-levered pedometers for both adults with and without DS. For future studies measuring walking activity of adults with DS, the use of piezoelectric pedometers is recommended. Advisors/Committee Members: Yun, Joonkoo (advisor), McCubbin, Jeffrey A.

▼ The study utilizes an inductive, qualitative approach to program evaluation to understand the nature of an afterschool literacy tutoring program for students with Down syndrome. Two research questions guide this study: (a) What are the curricular and instructional elements of the Let’s Read Now (LRN) literacy tutoring program for students with significant learning needs resulting from a diagnosis of Down syndrome? and (b) How does the LRN program align its practices to the research-based approaches to core and supplemental literacy instruction? The methodology utilized in this study is a formative, program evaluation design based on a nested case study approach. Findings reveal that training and ongoing support for tutors centers on the behavioral characteristics of students with Down syndrome as opposed to instructional practices that promote literacy development. For students with limited reading skills, the program utilizes a sight word approach for teaching reading, which is based on research that has largely been refuted by more recent studies indicating that students with DS can learn to read with direct instruction in both phonics and comprehension blended with explicit attention to auditory and/or visual memory. The findings provide insight into what pertinent changes could take place within this tutoring program to situate affective and behavioral aspects of learning within a larger, research-based framework that promotes students’ literacy growth. In addition, this study provides avenues for future research in the areas of literacy curriculum, instructional practices, and assessments for students with significant learning needs arising from developmental disorders, and it informs the types of practices that could prove effective within school programs as well as tutoring or intervention settings for students with learning, cognitive, or intellectual disabilities in order to improve outcomes for this population.

Note:

The effect of preventive and remediative procedures on the incidence and impact of Down syndrome in Montreal was examined. Two birth cohorts of Down syndrome infants for the years 1965-66 and 1975-76 were identified and compared for maternal age-specific incidence rates for five-year and single-year intervals. The age-specific rates for 1975-76 were generally higher than those for 1965-66 except for women aged 24 years and under. The effect of amniocentesis for the purpose of prenatal diagnosis on the prevention of Down syndrome in the later cohort was minimal. A clinical trial was conducted to assess the effect of early intervention on the development of a group of infants with Down syndrome.After insuring the comparability of the experimental and control groups and determining the extent to which the results of the trial could be generalized, no statistically significant differences in development between the experimental and control groups were demonstrated.

Nous avons étudié l'effet des méthodes préventives et curatives sur l'incidence du syndrome de Down à Montréal. Deux groupes d'enfants nés en 1965-66 et en 1975-76 respectivement et présentant ce syndrome ont été identifies et compares quant aux taux d'incidence en rapport avec l’âge de la mère; aux fins de cette étude, les âges des mères ont été regroupés en tranches d'un an et de cinq ans. En général, le pourcentage de 1975-76 était plus élevé que celui de 1965- 66, sauf en ce qui avait trait aux mères âgées de moins de 25 ans. L'amniocentèse à des fins de diagnostic prénatal n'a eu que très peu d'effet sur la prévention du syndrome de Down dans le deuxième groupe. Une étude clinique a été menée pour évaluer l'effet d'une intervention anticipée sur le développement d'un groupe d'enfants atteints du syndrome de Down. Une fois vérifiée la comparabilité entre le groupe témoin et le groupe d'enfants atteints et détermine jusqu'à quel point les résultats de l'étude pouvaient être généralisés, aucune différence significative sur le plan statistique n'a été démontrée entre ces deux groupes quant au développement.

▼ Patients with trisomy of chromosome 21, known as Down’s syndrome (DS), have a lower incidence of solid tumours than unaffected age-matched individuals. However, the cellular and molecular basis for this observation is not well understood. We hypothesised that a direct link between Down’s syndrome and angiogenesis exists, whereby the overexpression of human chromosome 21 (Hsa21) genes causes the repression of angiogenesis (gene dosage effects) resulting in the inhibition of solid tumour growth. In this project we investigated the angiogenic phenotype of an animal model of Down’s syndrome, the Tc1 mouse, which contains a large freely segregating fragment of Hsa21 containing over 200 human genes. We found that the growth of both B16F0 melanoma and Lewis Lung Carcinoma cells was impaired in Tc1 mice. Tumour vascularity also was reduced. This is supportive of the epidemiological data from the human DS population and supports the hypothesis that Hsa21 contains anti-angiogenic genes. Candidate genes were selected due to their endothelial specificity or likelihood to function in angiogenesis based on functional data or similarity to other proteins. Ex vivo RNAi assays were used to examine their roles in angiogenesis. We have found that reducing the expression of human Adamts1, Erg, Jamb or Pttg1ip in Tc1 tissue can restore its angiogenic potential, suggesting that the dosage of these genes (i.e. 3 copies instead of 2) can inhibit angiogenesis. Following from this study we also examined the role of selected adhesion related genes found on chromosome 21 in angiogenesis. Cldn14 encodes the tight junction molecule Claudin14 but its role in angiogenesis was unknown. We found that partial, but not complete, depletion of Cldn14 can increase the proportion of non-lumenated tumour blood vessels; decrease supporting cell association with tumour vessels; and increase endothelial cell proliferation in vivo, ex vivo and in vitro. Taken together this series of experiments has identified novel regulators of angiogenesis and has demonstrated the gene dosage effects of a subset of Hsa21 genes on angiogenic processes.

▼ The present project examined the regulatory function of social referencing in two neurodevelopmental disorders that have been well defined genetically and are characterized by differing patterns of socio-cognitive development: Down syndrome (DS) and Williams syndrome (WS). In addition, since the social referencing process requires children to coordinate three fundamental abilities (initiation of joint attention, gaze following, emotional responsivity), the present project also included three follow-up studies which examined these abilities separately. Participants were 21 children with DS (M age = 4.97 years; SD = .74) and 21 children with WS (M age = 4.92 years; SD = .76) closely matched on age and gender. The results of the Social Referencing task indicated that the majority of children in both diagnostic groups formed positive opinions about the ambiguous stimulus when the adult communicated a joyful nonverbal message but had difficulty using the adult's expression of fear to regulate their behavior in response to the ambiguous stimulus. Children with DS were more likely than were children with WS to shift gaze between the adult and the ambiguous stimulus. However, the children with DS frequently formed a positive opinion of the fearful stimulus and were more likely than were the children with WS to touch the stimulus. When the adult reacted fearfully to the ambiguous stimulus, the longest look directed to her by children with WS was significantly longer than the longest look directed by children with DS. In addition, children with WS were less likely to form an opinion of the fearful stimulus and more likely than children with DS to resort to superficially imitating the adult's display as opposed to using the adult's opinion of the stimulus to form their own. The results of the follow-up studies demonstrated that children with DS were more likely than were children with WS to initiate joint attention with the adult and to respond to joint attention in triadic situations. In addition, in a situation with a reduced attentional demand on the child than that used in the Social Referencing task, results indicated that the majority of children in both groups formed a positive opinion of the stimulus when the adult communicated a joyful message about it. However, when the adult communicated a fearful message, only one child in each group formed a negative opinion of the stimulus. In summary, the results indicate that there are both similarities and differences in the problems encountered by children with DS and children with WS in the social referencing process. Both groups had difficulty interpreting the communicative significance of fearful reactions. However, children with DS were more successful than children with WS both at coordinating attention in triadic interactions and at identifying the source of the adult's interest. Furthermore, despite demonstrating poorer overall intellectual ability and more limited verbal ability, children with DS evidenced better executive functioning than did children with WS.

▼ The focus of this study is the experiences of mothers of children with Down syndrome (Ds) and the provision of social services for their children and their families. Children with Ds have a range of physical and intellectual differences. This study examined the living conditions and quality of life of children with Ds based on mothers' perceptions about social services and their experiences of having a child with Ds. A two-country comparison of the differences in the availability of resources such as social services was made. The areas of health and education were selected as primary social services. The nature of the problem prompted a qualitative, interpretive approach to the study through the use of case studies, interviews and survey methods to produce practical solutions to the problem. The sample consisted of 68 mothers of children with Ds, who experienced the difficulties of raising their children. Data were coded by NUDIST to produce the headings: family, services, mothers' perceptions, and satisfaction with services. Descriptive analysis indicated four main areas determining the living conditions of children with Ds and their unmet needs. The findings of the study revealed that there are major barriers preventing children with Ds from achieving a normal life. These barriers included the negative attitudes of health and education professionals; a lack of accurate information about Down syndrome; inappropriate social services; the current practices of informing mothers about their child's diagnosis; and difficulty in accessing information about Down syndrome and social services. As a result, it is suggested that there is a need for a new understanding about Ds, which requires re-education and up-to-date information for health and education professionals, mothers, and society in general. Clearly, the range and quality of social service programs offered by authorities in the Ministries of Health and Education in both Australia and Iran need to be reviewed. The conclusion drawn from the examination of experiences of mothers in Australia and Iran indicated that contrary to the literature, mothers' emotional problems are not natural feelings and could be prevented if professionals changed the traditional way of pointing out the negatives, and instead, emphasise the potential and possibilities of a child with Ds. The research generated a background report for the Australian and Iranian Ministries of Health and Education with the intention of contributing to an improved quality of life for children with Ds.

▼ Virtually all signaling pathways that play key roles in development such as the transfroming growth factor (TGF)-beta, notch, and wnt pathways also influence tumor formation, implying that cancer is in a sense development gone awry. Therefore, identification and elucidation of developmental pathways has great potential for generating new diagnostic tools and molecular therapy targets. Singleminded-2s (SIM2s), a splice variant of the basic helilx-loop-helix / PER-ARNT-SIM (bHLH/PAS) transcriptional repressor Singleminded-2, is lost or repressed in approximately 70% of human breast tumors and has a profound influence on normal mammary development. In order to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms by which SIM2s restricts malignant transformation and progression in breast cancer, we depleted SIM2 RNA in MCF-7 cells using a retroviral shRNA system and examined gene expression and functional abilities of the SIM2-depleted MCF-7 cells (SIM2i) relative to a control MCF line expressing a non-specific ?scrambled? shRNA (SCR). Depletion of SIM2 resulted in an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-like effect characterized by increased migration and invasion, altered morphology, and loss of epithelial markers concomitant with gain of mesenchymal markers. The root of this effect may be loss of SIM2- mediated repression of the E-cadherin repressor slug, as SIM2 is able to bind and repress transcription from the slug promoter, and slug expression is dramatically elevated in SIM2i MCF-7 cells. Consistent with the previously established role of slug in resistance to various cancer therapies, SIM2i cells are resistant to the radiomimetic doxorubicin and appear to have elevated self-renewal capacity under certain conditions. Intriguingly, SIM2 protein levels are elevated by treatment with DNA damaging agents, and SIM2 interacts with the p53 complex via co-regulation of specific p53- target gene such as p21/WAF1/CIP1. These results provide a plausible mechanism for the tumor suppressor activity of SIM2, and provide insight into a novel tumor suppressive transcriptional circuit that may have utility as a therapeutic target.

Risk is a crucial concept in healthcare communication. This is attested to by a large body of research on risk communication in psychology, sociology, and, more recently, discourse analysis. This previous research has primarily focused on how healthcare providers manage risk talk, whereas patients’ risk talk has received little attention. Where it has been researched, it has been presented in an oversimplified way, namely that the patients have been reported to perceive their risk in a simplified, ‘all-or-nothing manner’. Using theme-oriented discourse analysis (Roberts and Sarangi, 2005), this study challenges this simplified perception by examining patients’ risk talk in prenatal screening for Down syndrome. The data for this study comprises 14 video-recorded consultations collected in one prenatal hospital in Hong Kong. The particular focus of the study is on patients who have received a ‘positive’ result from the initial screening for Down syndrome that has put them in a high-risk group by increasing their probability of having a baby with Down syndrome. In these consultations patients are informed about further testing to confirm the diagnosis. To examine the patients’ risk talk, the transcripts of the interactions have been coded along the lines of structural, thematic and interactional maps (Roberts and Sarangi, 2005) to note down risk talk by patients, what is it concerned with and the interactional dynamics of how it is managed. The analysis suggests that patients’ risk talk concerns three types of risks, namely the “risk of occurrence” (that is the probability of having a child with Down Syndrome) the “risk of knowing” (that is dealing with the knowledge about having a child with Down Syndrome) and what has been referred to in this study as the “risk of not knowing” (that is not finding out about the condition due to the uncertainty surrounding the tests). In contrast to the findings in the previous studies, the patients in the data actively initiate risk talk by raising clarification questions and talking about their concerns. The analysis has revealed the differences in how different types of risk talk are constructed by the patients. These differences are discussed in regards to the phases of the consultation in which risk talk occurs and whether risk talk is aimed at eliciting further information or making a decision about pursuing further testing. The analysis has also noted that risk communication is a joint activity involving the patients and the healthcare providers. In addressing patients’ risk talk the healthcare providers in the data take on an indirect approach, thereby avoiding influencing the patients’ decision-making and managing the uncertainty surrounding prenatal screening. The analysis has also pointed out that the patients’ socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds have a crucial impact on how risk talk is constructed by the patients.

▼ The raison d'être of my research is simple: it’s about tossing one more starfish back into the surf. Down syndrome is not a disease, nor is it contagious or a death sentence (it only feels that way when you find out for the first time). At the moment of conception, the apprearance of extra genetic material results in a total of 47 chromosomes in every cell. Usually each cell has only 46, thus making an individual with Down syndrome far more like others than different from them. Yet, this extra chromosome presents special circumstances regarding their ability to acquire new skills, be it academic or practical, encompassing a specific learning profile with typical characterisitcs, strengths and weaknesses. Twenty-first century family life is simultaneously challenging and richly rewarding and the expectancy of most families are of a life lived on paved highways with well-marked signs, and rest stops never far apart. Adding an extra chromosome to the luggage sends the family travelling down a vastly different highway instead, not always knowing what is ahead. It’s scary, but in reality even those on the wide smooth roads do not know the future. Echoing the feelings of many parents, Leonard (1992: 5) states, “The trouble is that we have few, if any maps to guide us on the journey or show us how to find the path…” Assumptions from previous decades that used to increase stress associated with rearing a child with Down syndrome would negatively impact on individual family members and the family unit as such. This has made way for the growing consensus that it is not necessarily the norm. Whilst some families have trouble in adapting to the increased stress, other families adjust easier and even thrive. Successful adaptation seems more likely in resilient families who enjoy high levels of parental well-being and strong relationship bonds. Findings of this qualitative research study confirm that unresolved marital strains are more likely to result in divorce as opposed to the birth of their child with Down syndrome. Correspondingly, siblings of children with Down syndrome reported mostly positive impact than negated opportunities to participate in a normal childhood. My motivation for this research was to explore the nature of challenges faced by modern families and to provide mechanisms to facilitate positive adaptation for the family and aid vii inclusion of the child with Down syndrome into school and greater society. Recommendations are also presented for the medical professionals who, ironically, have proved to be the last people parents want to go for support, owing mostly to their decidedly objectionable treatment of parents; as well as the generally uninformed public, who seldom understand or support attempts of parents to include and expose their child to everyday experiences. In conclusion, I summarize: Should it be that I may influence but one person to see persons with Down syndrome for the potential that they hold instead of the associated problems of their condition, this would afford me the satisfaction and…

▼ All individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) have the right to develop and express sexuality in an emotionally satisfying and socially appropriate manner. Questions have arisen as to whether sexuality education for this population should be the responsibility of the school or the family. This study looked to evaluate the role of the parents as the primary sexuality educators for their adolescents with Down syndrome (DS). This is because parents of children with DS report they want to be the primary sexuality educators for their children, but often overlook the responsibility because they do not know what to talk about, when to talk about it, or how to modify content so their child will understand. Previous research has shown that parents of typically developing children have an increase in self-efficacy talking about sexuality topics after attending a workshop. However, there is no such research for parents of individuals with I/DD generally, or DS specifically. In order to address the lack of formal parent education on sexuality and healthy relationships for individuals with I/DD, the Home B.A.S.E. for Developmental Disabilities workshop was designed utilizing principles of adult learning and social learning theories. There were 13 participants that completed the training. A small sample study assessing the effectiveness of the curriculum was carried out using a parallel mixed methods design. In addition to assessing the curriculum’s effectiveness, parental concerns that often inhibit teaching were collected. The data supports that the Home B.A.S.E. for Developmental Disabilities curriculum has a large effect on increasing parent confidence and comfort initiating sexuality discussions and communicating about sexuality topics generally with their adolescents with DS. Parent attitudes surrounding sensitive sexuality topics can be transformed leading to more direct and open communication between parents and their children with DS. As a result of the training, parents reported they felt less of a need for additional information on all sexuality topics in order to effectively communicate with their child with DS, they understood the importance of direct and open communication, and they felt better prepared and aware of available resources.

▼ Children and adolescents with Down Syndrome (DS) have a high incidence of sleep problems, including Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS). They are also likely to have deficits in neuropsychological tasks tapping prefrontal function and hippocampal function. There has recent revival of literature suggesting an active role for sleep in memory consolidation and problem-solving in both children and adults. Furthermore, given the cognitive and behavioral sequellae of OSAS in typically developing children it is logical to test if the hypoxemia and increased sleep fragmentation, the two major pathophysiological mechanisms of OSAS, seen in children with DS and OSAS may exacerbate learning or behavior disorders.Forty children with DS aged 7-18 were administered the Arizona Cognitive Test Battery (ACTB) for DS (Edgin et al., 2010), and in-home ambulatory polysomnography. Their parents were asked to complete several questionnaires assessing their child's sleep and behavior. Seventy-seven percent (n = 40) of our sample met criteria for pediatric sleep apnea (AHI>1.5), and the mean apnea hypoppnea index (AHI) was 8.4 events per hour. Our sample had a mean arousal index of 10.3, a respiratory arousal index of 3.2, and a SaO2 nadir of 86.9%. Over 70% of our sample had a SaO2 nadir below 90%. We examined the relationship between OSAS severity and cognitive and behavioral outcomes. We found that children with DS with a lower apnea hypopnea index (AHI) attained a greater number of stages on the CANTAB PAL task compared to chronologically age-matched children with higher AHI, and the variance in performance was partially explained by sleep fragmentation (i.e., the arousal index) and experimenter-rated "attention" but not hypoxemia. In addition, we also found that the low apnea group showed a trend toward outperforming the high apnea group on the KBIT-II Verbal IQ scale and DAS-2 Pattern Construction subtest.These findings have important clinical implications. First, these results suggest that early screening for OSAS in DS is important, as OSAS severity seems to explain some of the variance in cognitive functioning. Second, these findings suggest that an early intervention for OSAS might be warranted. Advisors/Committee Members: Bootzin, Richard R (advisor), Nadel, Lynn (advisor), Ryan, T.
