EARLY COMMUNICATION SKILLS
FOR CHILDREN WITH DOWN SYNDROME


This newly revised book focuses on speech and language development of children with Down syndrome from birth through the stage of making 3-word phrases, which is often around kindergarten age, but can occur later. This book offers educational teams a wealth of information on intelligibility issues, hearing loss, apraxia, and other factors that affect communication for children with Down syndrome. It explains the role of a SLP, the stages of communication development, and how certain characteristics of Down syndrome, such as low muscle tone, hearing loss, and cognitive delays, can slow progression of those skills. The author, Libby Kumin, Ph.D, CCC-SLP, goes on to describe what to expect in the years ahead when a child enters elementary school. New chapters on literacy, augmentative and alternative communication, and articulation are included. 236 pages.
