简要总结
Enhancing independence and quality of life are key modifiable outcomes that are short- and long-term goals for children with Down syndrome (DS) and for their parents. The study investigated the efficacy of assistive technology in improving children with Down Syndrome's independence and quality of life. Using a commercially available assistive technology, the MapHabit system, the investigators implemented the software with participants' families for 4 weeks. The investigators hypothesized that the assistive technology will improve adaptive behavioral skills and overall quality of life.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Adaptive Behavior Assessment System Third Edition (ABAS-3) from Baseline at 4 Weeks
时间窗: Pre-Post: The assessment was administered at the beginning and end of the study's duration (4-week study).
Assessment is used commonly for children with Down syndrome that evaluates conceptual, social, and practical behavioral skills that are significant for day-to-day functioning. The assessment is scored with the General Adaptive Composite (GAC), which summarizes performance across all adaptive skill areas. GAC score ranges from 0-130, with a higher score indicating better outcome.
Quality of Life - 18 (QoL-18)
时间窗: The instrument was administered to the participants after the completion of the study duration (4-week study).
18-item quality-of-life questionnaire (QoL-18) evaluated a range of participants' behaviors, including mood, engagement, and memory at the end of the study compared to before the use of the MHS. The instrument is scored on a Likert Scale, ranging from 1-5. A higher number indicates better outcome.
