Camarata, Stephen; Yoder, Paul; Camarata, Mary – Down Syndrome Research and Practice, 2006
Children with Down syndrome often display speech-comprehensibility and grammatical deficits beyond what would be predicted based upon general mental age. Historically, speech-comprehensibility has often been treated using traditional articulation therapy and oral-motor training so there may be little or no coordination of grammatical and…
