Speech assessment in Down's Syndrome Children
Mona Ibrahim Mohamed Foda;
Abstract
Down syndrome is a genetic syndrome most commonly caused by a third copy of chromosome 21 (trisomy 21), although a small number of cases are due to mosaicism and translocation of material from chromosome 21.
Children with Down syndrome often have reduced speech intelligibility, which is likely due to multiple factors, including: craniofacial dysmorphology, speech motor impairment (hypotonia along with articulatory placement and sequencing disorders), hearing loss, and cognitive limitations (Wild et al., 2015).
