Feedback

"... an excellent training resource for support groups or for parents to view at home ... The commentary is clear and the filming excellent ... I would certainly recommend this DVD as a way of introducing the issues, demonstrating activities and reinforcing information given through speech and language therapy and education services." Kate Freeman, Professional Advisor, I CAN (the children's communication charity)

"I found this DVD really informative and practical. The information was easy to follow. It was nice to see all the activities demonstrated by parents and children. A great resource to refer back to as my child's skills develop." Parent, UK

The film focuses on practical activities that can be woven into everyday life and is illustrated throughout with video of children and their parents.

The 76-minute film explores techniques to help children with Down syndrome understand the meanings of words, communicate what they know and develop clear speech. It also looks at ways to help them learn to read words and sentences, and explains how teaching reading benefits their spoken language.

The film has been developed by the Trust's world-renowned team of experts including our Speech and Language specialists and Psychologists. It provides a valuable and unique resource for parents and for professionals caring for preschool children with Down syndrome.
