Shownotes

Jennifer Gray is a certified speech-language pathologist with over 20 years of experience working with the Down syndrome community. Today we’re asking her all the questions we’ve forgotten to ask our children’s own speech therapists.
When should speech therapy start for individuals with Down syndrome? (Hint: Jennifer says research shows it can be helpful before age 1)
What makes speech more challenging for individuals with Down syndrome?
Can individuals with Down syndrome experience speech regression?
What is self-talk?
We hope you learn something from this important conversation about communication for people with Down syndrome!
