Presented by Libby Kumin Ph.D., CCC-SLP, Professor Emeritus Loyola University Maryland, part of a three-part series sponsored by CDSPG.
Presentation is targeted for parents of children from age 4 to adulthood.
How can we help children with Down syndrome develop speech that is easier to understand? There are many factors that affect speech intelligibility in children and adults with Down syndrome but the occurrence and combination of factors are different for each person. Dr. Kumin will present a framework that can be used for identifying, analyzing, and treating the factors that affect speech intelligibility for your child, e.g. rate, articulation, oral motor skills and childhood apraxia of speech. Attendees will learn how to write IEP goals that target factors affecting speech intelligibility in your child and how to develop a home-school communication plan and to use home activities to practice speech skills. Handouts, forms and checklists will be included.
