Objective. The aim of this study is to verify the treatment with Motor Physical Therapy (MPT), as part of early stimulation for children with Down Syndrome (SD) in the main institutions of the Rio de Janeiro City. Method. It is an observational and cross-sectional study with application of structural questionnaire to physical therapists. Results. Four institutions from eleven were visited. Three institutions used a Neuroevolutive Treatment Method and one used Glenn Doman fot MPT. Two institutions determined 3 months as minimum age for the beginning of treatment, and only one did stimulation work with trained volunteers without a Physical Therapist present. Group appointment was presented in three institutions and had an average time of 15 minutes and in the other one, 30 minutes for MPT. The Institution with individual appointments had longer sessions, 35 minutes. In three institutions the frequency of appointments was twice a week, and in the other one was five times a week. The responsible for the children were well oriented in all institutions, although only two institutions allowed them to participate during the appointments. All Institutions had independent gait as dismissal criterion. Three institutions referred children to other facilities. Conclusion: Frequency, methods, and age as well as orientation and referral after dismissal were in agreement to MPT for this population.
