From the lock down condition, Down Syndrome children who are used to activities at school become lazy to do fitness exercises at home, while parents also increase their activities by accompanying their children while at home from morning to night. For this reason, it is necessary to provide a home fitness training program for Down Syndrome children by doing the Fit 5 Special Olympics program. And it is necessary to make a Fitness card and a fitness love board so that children with Down syndrome are more excited. The purpose of this study is to establish cooperation between physical education teachers and parents in maintaining the fitness of Down Syndrome children while at home, and to help maintain the fitness of Down Syndrome children during the lock down period this year and in the coming years if there is a lock down period. again. The subjects of this study were 3 Down syndrome students from Special Olympics Surabaya. The design of this research is development research with research instruments in the form of validation sheets and video recordings that will be used to draw descriptive conclusions. The data analysis technique used is descriptive. Product trial validation was carried out by 6 experts who have experience in treating children with Down syndrome and 3 parents of students. The results showed that the average validation score of the experts was 98% and the average validation score of the parents was 98% which was in the very good category.

Agnieszka Jędrzejowska, Child with Down Syndrome in a peer group. Interdisciplinary Contexts of Special Pedagogy, no. 27, Poznań 2019. Pp. 351–372.Adam Mickiewicz University Press. ISSN 2300-391X. e-ISSN 2658-283X. DOI: https://doi.org/10.14746/ikps.2019.27.16 The attitude towards people with disabilities has changed over the last century. Both deinstitutionalisation as well as integration and normalisation allowed many people with intellectual disabilities to improve their social situation. An example of such a systemic solution supporting the development of disabled persons are integration groups. The subject of this article is a report from a pilot study on the functioning of a group of children with Down syndrome within an integration group. The objective of this study was the presentation of the reasonability of inclusion within the integration group of children with Down’s Syndrome (with the homogeneous dysfunction). Observation and sociometric tests covered children with Down syndrome from two integration groups from kindergarten no. 109 in Wrocław, Poland. I consider the essence of integration, following A. Maciarz, to be the feeling of social bonds experienced by a disabled individual, a sense of belonging to a group, as well as the conviction that one is accepted by it, despite the fact that the standards adopted by their community are not always and not fully met by them. The research was carried out for six months in a kindergarten where I was a special educator.
