Abstract	This study aimed to determine participation and enjoyment in young people with Down syndrome (DS) in Taiwan and to assess how participation varies across gender, cognitive, and motor function variables. Using the Children's Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment, data on participation were collected from 997 adolescents with DS and their families. Findings indicated limited diversity and intensity of participation, with proportionately greater involvement in informal activities. Youth with better cognitive and motor functions participated more often in activities and reported higher enjoyment and social engagement with these. These findings provide a foundation for an improved understanding of activity participation of youth with DS. Service providers and families could provide and plan activities to ensure more satisfying and meaningful participation. (Contains 6 tables.) (As Provided).
