This study aims to develop a prototype of assessment application for children with Down syndrome. This application is to help parents with Down syndrome children in detecting the growth and development of Down syndrome children and making development programs. The development of this application is motivated by the fact that children with Down syndrome have various weaknesses in physical, health and IQ. These weaknesses cause a high risk of developmental delays in children with Down syndrome. Therefore, every parent with Down syndrome child needs to know each stage of their child's development then carry out a child development program to prevent delays in their child's development. In developing the assessment application for children with Down syndrome, a prototype model system development method is used with an object-oriented approach. Activities in this research are database design, interface design, and build assessment of children with Down syndrome applications. Presence od Down syndrome child assessment application, hopefully can help parents of Down syndrome children in detecting the development of their child's development so that it is known whether or not there is a delay in their child's development. In addition, parents can also make a child development program followed by making a daily record of the process and results of implementing their child's development program, so that their child's growth and development can be monitored and become evaluation material for further development programs.
