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.
| CHOP Symposium coming up on March13!!!! Our member Helen Milligan, who is also a PT at CHOP, is looking forward to hearing Dr. Stein speak about behavior challenges and strategies! Helen will also be a presenter that day, so if you have a little one getting ready to walk, then her treadmill training talk is for you!!!! Lots of videos and tips to get you started! đđ |

ROCK YOUR SOCKS
Wear your most colorful or mismatched socks!
WEAR BLUE & YELLOW
These are the colors used to raise awareness for Down Syndrome.
Remember, we are more alike than different! People who have Down Syndrome can and will do all the same this you do, it just takes a little more time. BE KIND. BE INCLUSIVE.
