What speech imparements are involved with down syndrome?

Individuals with Down syndrome often experience speech impairments such as articulation difficulties, which can affect their ability to produce certain sounds clearly. Additionally, they may have challenges with expressive language, limiting their ability to form complex sentences or use a wide range of vocabulary. Receptive language skills can also be impacted, making it harder for them to understand spoken language. These speech and language challenges are often addressed through speech therapy and tailored communication strategies.
