The study of individuals with mental disability, particularly those with Down syndrome (DS), aimed to examine the influence of the training of poultry in motor coordination, exploring the aspects of motor skills, drive and overall balance, both used for the battery of tests for Scale Development Motor (EDM) to compare the evolution of the volunteers after the drills. After 10 weeks of intervention we observed significant improvement in some tests, however, sometimes not observed any change thus conclude that further studies are needed to confirm the effectiveness of training with the poultry for this population, the intervention reduced the time and small sample, were our main limiting factors.
