Great book

A great book that really gives you step by step ideas on how to encourage language. You can apply these ideas to children with Down Syndrome, as well as typically developing children with language delays.

A great resource for parents and teachers

Children with Down Syndrome are often delayed in developing speech but can compensate for this delay by using sign language and other skills in a technique called Total Communication. This guide provides a wealth of information about speech and language development in children with Down syndrome. Parents learn what to expect as communication skills progress from infancy through early adolescence, how Down syndrome can affect those skills, and what they can do to maximize their child's potential in this crucial area of development. This book was recommended by our son's speech therapist.
