Understanding and Expression of Language in Down Syndrome

Communication difficulties present as one of the most significant challenges facing children with Down syndrome. Unless addressed, these difficulties can persist into adulthood and severely limit opportunities for work and successful social inclusion.
In this video, the first in a two-part series on Successful Strategies for Enhancing Communication in Children with Down Syndrome, Riley Rosebush and Jillian Baldwin, RSLP's with the Down Syndrome Research Foundation, introduce the topic by:
• Describing common language profiles at different stages of development
• Setting communication goals and planning for success
• Demonstrating examples of using effective teaching strategies and supports
• Discussing where to find resources

[@TyrekeCorrea]

I'm not sure generalizing to this extent is such a good idea. There are major differences in the ways that even the brains of people with down syndrome are wired, or they wouldn't be such a wide variation of presentation.

[@nassaliflorence680]

Am a Ugandan single mother of 10yrs old boy with down syndrome, his father rejected him because of that problem. I don't know what to do to take my boy at special needs school because they're expensive though I don't have money 😭😭!! May God have mercy on me 🙏🙏🙏

[@rabouala]

Here in Canada, even if we have special needs services, most of the learning occurs at home with parents dedicating time, learning to teach their kids. My daughter with DS is 17 months old and everyday I must learn. I am learning sign language now so I can use it with her. Teach yourself with these videos and then teach her. You can do it ❤❤❤

Faith in word and deed and belief in religion, Sharia and the method that God Almighty revealed makes you completely live like them, the religion of innateness, and I am not talking here about the actions of people who offend this religion, because we are in the end humans we do the right and do the mistakes because we are not perfect, but I am talking about religion and its spirit by itself And if you don't believe me, hear one of the sufferers with down Syndrome the Holy Quran, and notice comfort, tranquility and reassurance when they're listining to the words of their Creator The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: Every child is born on the fitra and it is his parents who make him a jew or a christian. God almighty said: (So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth. [Adhere to] the fitrah of God upon which He has created [all] people.
