“…Narrative storytelling (i.e., the ability to coherently relay a sequence of events to a listener) is an important aspect of expressive language needed for everyday communication and is an area in which individuals with DS also struggle, although the extent of their challenges in narration is not clear (Boudreau & Chapman, 2000; Channell, McDuffie, Bullard, & Abbeduto, 2015; Finestack, Palmer, & Abbeduto, 2012; Hesketh & Chapman, 1998; Hogan-Brown, Losh, Martin, & Mueffelmann, 2013; Miles & Chapman, 2002). Narrative storytelling is a functional skill and a means for communicating personal experiences or fictional stories to others, often serving as a forum for reflecting on past events and discussing one’s own and others’ perspectives (Aldrich, Tenenbaum, Brooks, Harrison, & Sines, 2011; Bamberg & Marchman, 1990; Berman, 1995; Trabasso, Stein, Rodkin, Munger, & Baughn, 1992).…”
