Australia and New Zealand Journal of Developmental Disabilities, v15 n3-4 p277-87 1989

Adaptive behavior skills of 2,144 adults with Down syndrome, aged 20-69 years, were compared to those of other developmentally disabled people. In all behavioral domains and at all levels of mental retardation, individuals with Down syndrome displayed significantly more age-related deficits than did age-matched controls. (Author/DB)
