“…Given the agreement in the literature that those with DS demonstrate motor speech difficulties (Kent and Vorperian , Rupela et al . ), and that nine of the 10 most frequently misarticulated sounds identified by Sommers et al . () involve lingual articulation, a VBF technique such as EPG would seem to offer a well‐tailored alternative to traditional auditory‐based therapy.…”

“…Errors in speech production are often attributed to structural anomalies, but severity has been shown to be more directly related to difficulties in speech motor control, dysarthria and hypotonia (Kent and Vorperian , Rupela et al . ). In their review of speech impairments in DS, Kent and Vorperian () highlight that articulatory errors frequently involve consonants.…”

“…The percentage of intelligible words produced by children with DS is variably reported, but Rupela et al . (), in a study of seven children aged between 3;04 and 8;11, reported a range of between 26% and 89% compared with 91–99% for typically developing (TD) children aged between 2;11 and 5;01.

Purpose The goal of this article (PM I) is to describe the rationale for and development of the Pause Marker (PM), a single-sign diagnostic marker proposed to discriminate early or persistent childhood apraxia of speech from speech delay. Method The authors describe and prioritize 7 criteria with which to evaluate the research and clinical utility of a diagnostic marker for childhood apraxia of speech, including evaluation of the present proposal. An overview is given of the Speech Disorders Classification System, including extensions completed in the same approximately 3-year period in which the PM was developed. Results The finalized Speech Disorders Classification System includes a nosology and cross-classification procedures for childhood and persistent speech disorders and motor speech disorders (Shriberg, Strand, & Mabie, 2017). A PM is developed that provides procedural and scoring information, and citations to papers and technical reports that include audio exemplars of the PM and reference data used to standardize PM scores are provided. Conclusions The PM described here is an acoustic-aided perceptual sign that quantifies one aspect of speech precision in the linguistic domain of phrasing. This diagnostic marker can be used to discriminate early or persistent childhood apraxia of speech from speech delay.

“…Phonological, articulatory, motoric, and prosodic factors contribute to persistent difficulties with speech sound production and intelligibility that are almost universal [32-34]. Children with Down syndrome are slow to begin talking and to learn new words, with expressive vocabulary affected more than receptive, and syntax particularly compromised, resulting in shorter, simpler utterances with fewer different words and morphological markers [35, 36].…”

Aims: This exploratory study investigated if there were differences in the home literacy environment of preschool children on the autism spectrum and preschool children with Down syndrome to determine if the home literacy environment may potentially be associated with strengths or weaknesses in children’s social communication skills. Methods: A total of 111 parents of preschoolers with identified disabilities completed a home literacy questionnaire. Results: Results indicated that both groups of parents started reading to their children at an early age and owned at least 25 children’s books. However, parents of children with Down syndrome read to their child more often, reported higher child interest in reading, and more frequently played rhyming games with their child. No group differences were found in teaching of letter names, although parents of children with autism reported a higher frequency of pointing out signs/words in the environment and reported their children knew more letter names. Group differences were also found in the relationship between parent behaviours, child interest, and children’s print-related skills. Conclusion: This study highlights the influence both parent behaviours and child interest may have on shared book reading practices of parents with their preschool children with disabilities.

Motor speech skills in children with Down syndrome: A descriptive study

Abstract: The motor speech disorder accompanying DS is complex. The data provide some preliminary descriptions of motor speech disorders in this population and some tools that clinicians would find useful when assessing motor speech skills of young children with DS.
