Book Synopsis Speech and Language Development for Infants with Down Syndrome (0-5 Years) by : Sue Buckley
Download or read book Speech and Language Development for Infants with Down Syndrome (0-5 Years) written by Sue Buckley. This book was released on 2001. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This module provides a programme of activities and advice designed to assist the development of speech and language skills for children with Down syndrome from birth to five years. The advice and activities are based on knowledge of the processes affecting speech and language development in typically developing children, the identified difficulties of children with Down syndrome and current research findings from studies evaluating effective remedial strategies. It also includes checklists for evaluating and recording children's development of interactive communication skills, speech sounds, vocabulary, sentences and grammar. The programme will enable parents, teachers and therapists to help children with Down syndrome to learn to talk, to talk in sentences, and to develop their speech clarity and conversational skills. It starts with activities to develop the foundation skills in infancy that lead on to talking, including the use of gesture and sign to support comprehension, and with an emphasis on speech sound work from infancy.Building a spoken vocabulary to 400 words by 5 years of age is seen as a priority, in order to develop grammar and phonology, and a recommended vocabulary programme with record sheets is included. The ways in which reading activities should be used to support all aspects of speech and language learning during preschool years are mentioned but the detailed advice on teaching early reading is in the reading module. This module follows on from Speech and language development for individuals with Down syndrome - An overview DSii-03-01] which should be read first, to provide the reader with an adequate understanding of speech and language development to be successful in using this programme.

Book Synopsis Implementing a Naturalistic Recast Approach in Adults with Down Syndrome Disintegrative Disorder by : Courtney Hale
Download or read book Implementing a Naturalistic Recast Approach in Adults with Down Syndrome Disintegrative Disorder written by Courtney Hale. This book was released on 2022. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Researchers have reported unexplained regression in young adults with Down Syndrome (DS). This regression has been termed Down Syndrome disintegrative disorder (DSDD) (Worley et al., 2015), catatonia not otherwise specified (Ghaziuddin et al., 2015; Lyons et al., 2020; Miles et al., 2019), early-onset parkinsonism (Palat et al., 2018), new-onset autistic regression, dementia, and insomnia (Worley et al., 2015). The demographic profile of Down Syndrome disintegrative disorder (DSDD) includes a post-pubertal onset, a female to male ratio of 2:1, and a mean age of regression of 17.5 years (Rosso et al., 2019). These individuals exhibit seven times as many depressive symptoms and experience six times as many life stressors, such as a change in school or death of a family member (Santoro et al., 2020). Symptoms typically associated with DSDD include impaired cognition, or cognitive decline to a dementia-like state, new-onset insomnia, new-onset autistic characteristics, and a decline in baseline skills including activities of daily living (Ghaziuddin et al., 2015; Worley et al., 2015). Research indicates that DSDD is accompanied by a significant decline in speech or language, as 94% of individuals with DSDD experience a speech impairment and mutism is observed in 57% of individuals with DSDD (Mircher et al., 2017). DSDD results in a decline in frequency of speech; however, many individuals with DSDD also experience a decrease in oral motor control, resulting in a significant decrease in speech intelligibility (Jacobs et al., 2016). Researchers have identified possible medical treatment options for DSDD, including electroconvulsive therapy, immunotherapy treatment, and various pharmaceutical treatments, (Cardinale et al., 2019; Ghaziuddin et al., 2015; Miles et al., 2019; Rosso et al., 2019). Some of these treatment methods have resulted in a temporary remission of symptoms and/or an improvement in activities of daily living, however individuals being treated have not yet shown improvement in speech impairments, mutism, or speech intelligibility (Mircher et al., 2017; Rosso et al., 2019)."--Abstract.
