Weathers, Caislin

American Journal of Mental Deficiency, v88 n2 p214-17 Sep 1983

In a double-blind study, 24 Down syndrome children (6 to 17 years old) were given a megadose multivitamin/mineral supplement for four months. A matched group of 23 children received a placebo in identical form. No differences were found on any measures of IQ, vision, and visual-motor integration. (Author/CL)
