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.
