 The relation between the development of feeding and gross motor skills in children with Down syndrome (DS) has not been closely investigated. The purpose of this study was to conduct a cross-sectional investigation of the oral motor skills and gross motor skills of children with DS to record any developmental change and see if, and how, the two skills are related. The subjects were 38 children with DS. Their meal scenes were video recorded and the ratio of how often they thrust their tongue and whether they were able to mash food with their tongue was evaluated. In addition, their gross motor development was also evaluated and its relation to oral motor development was investigated. As a result, it was found that most children with DS were able to mash food with their tongue when they acquired the ability to walk. Tongue thrusting was less frequent when they were able to mash food in the oral cavity but was still observed during swallowing. These findings indicated that oral motor skills are related to gross motor development, and it was useful to use gross motor milestones as an indicator of feeding instruction.
