Sleep disorders are common, often overlooked problem in Down syndrome, particularly during childhood. Comorbidities such as congenital heart disease often present early and management of these needs to take priority. However, this can result in the lack of early development of good sleep habits and may also lead to the perception that sleep issues are an expected problem in children with Down syndrome, which do not require intervention. Studies have shown that sleep problems continue to be under-reported by parents of children with Down syndrome, even though conditions such as obstructive sleep apnoea are up to six times more common in this population. Therefore an understanding of the nature of sleep problems in Down syndrome is important for anyone working with this group. In this chapter we provide an overview of this topic, highlighting the key sleep issues encountered by children with Down syndrome, as well as providing a general approach to evaluation and management.

Background. Disorders in the orofacial complex as well as muscle hypotension in children with Down syndrome can be corrected through orofacial therapy that makes use of a palatal plate. Objectives. The aim of this paper was to present how parents of children with DS assess the availability of treatment and the therapeutic effects of orthodontic palatal plate therapy on the tongue position and mimetic muscle tension in their children; and to determine whether implementing full Castillo-Morales therapy and using only a palatal plate lead to substantially different results. Material and Methods. The study was conducted on 100 children with DS between the ages of two months and two years (44 boys, 56 girls) who were treated by means of stimulating plate therapy. The study analyzed responses obtained from the parents to questions included in a questionnaire completed at every visit over a period of two years. Results. The study found that in 50 patients with DS who underwent palatal plate rehabilitation there was a visible improvement of the mimetic muscles, tongue retraction and lip closure. Conclusions. Early orthodontic palatal plate therapy ought to be an integral part of the multidisciplinary rehabilitation of patients with DS (Adv Clin Exp Med 2015, 24, 2, 301-305).
