Re: teaching children with Down syndrome to ask questions

[Guest guest]

I read that article as well and sent it to both my son's Speech therapist and

his classroom teacher. I have still had no response from them but it is

changing the way I am talking to my son and how he makes his requests,

already....

Yes,,,this is very interesting. I am happy that Nate does ask " Can I have some

milk? and he does ask questions as " Where is__________? " I will make a mental

note to keep encouraging questions and taking a statement he does make and

turning it around into a question when I model it back to him. This does make

lots of sense. I do think following Hanen or Dr Jim's techniques from

communication partner really are helpful in preventing those automatic demanding

routine phrases and challenges them to think and respond more. My two cents.
