What role do strengths and weaknesses play in speech and language intervention for people with Down syndrome? In this course, Jennifer Gray, MS, CCC-SLP, examines how strengths can be used to address needs and how to prevent strengths from becoming weaknesses.

Topics include medical management, oral functioning, feeding, speech clarity, literacy, and executive functioning. You'll learn how to determine which speech and language skills to target for speech clarity and language use in any setting, including telepractice, and how to identify ineffective communication behaviors in children, teens, and adults. Jennifer also describes ways to reduce avoidance and support engagement through high-frequency speech practice and medical management.
