Best Answer

I would suggest that you make an appointment with a speech therapist. Your physician may be able to recommend one. Alternatively if you look up the Speech Pathology national association for your country, there are listings available there. Articulation can be difficult to treat in children with Down syndrome, given the nature of their oral structures and the muscle tone in their face. However, improvements can most definitely be made! In the meantime, learning (and teaching your child) a few signs may assist you and your child in understanding each other. Using pictures and gestures may also help. A speech therapist can assist and support you with all of these.
