Abstract

Pupils with Down syndrome, and especially those with moderate learning disabilities are hindered in their learning by significant issues with the acquisition of language. As a learning support teacher with a specific interest in this area, the author critically reviewed literature relating to language acquisition. Drawing on this review, an intervention which aims to improve communication skills is suggested.
