I was hoping that this book would give me some insights and ideas into helping my daughter develop her very poor communication skills. Sadly, little of this book was anything more than obvious, and pretty much everything was equally applicable to typically developing (TD) children.
Largely a waste of time if you have any common sense, as you'll work all this out on your own. If you've raised any TD kids, you'll find that what you did with them will be more than you'd learn from this book.

Children with Down Syndrome are often delayed in developing speech but can compensate for this delay by using sign language and other skills in a technique called Total Communication. This guide provides a wealth of information about speech and language development in children with Down syndrome. Parents learn what to expect as communication skills progress from infancy through early adolescence, how Down syndrome can affect those skills, and what they can do to maximize their child's potential in this crucial area of development. This book was recommended by our son's speech therapist.

A great book that really gives you step by step ideas on how to encourage language. You can apply these ideas to children with Down Syndrome, as well as typically developing children with language delays.
