Early Speech

The concept of early speech therapy by a team of therapists of different specializations, including a speech and language pathologist, assumes a holistic approach to an infant’s development. Children with Down syndrome require the help of a speech and language pathologist since the first day of their lives. The article describes activating the child’s speech by incorporating games into the therapy.

Aims: To evaluate parents' satisfaction with medical and allied health services provided to children with Down syndrome in north-west England, comparing ENT and its allied services with other areas of health service provision.Methods: A questionnaire survey of parents attending a north-west England Down syndrome association conference. Demographic data, departments visited, satisfaction with each service (scored one to five), waiting times for each service (scored one to five), service need (scored one to three) and accessibility (scored one to three) were recorded.Results: Otolaryngology had been used by 50 per cent of children, with a satisfaction of 2.63 (the second worst score). Speech and language therapy was used by 90 per cent of the children, with a satisfaction of 3.26 (the worst score). The service felt to be most needed and also most difficult to access was speech and language therapy.Conclusion: Otorhinolaryngology departments should assess how they can improve their service to this population with specific ENT needs. Speech and language services for children with Down syndrome should be expanded.

Objectives The purpose of this report is to relate a single institution's experience with middle ear disease and the incidence and efficacy of tympanostomy tube (PET) insertion in children with Down syndrome. Methods Retrospective chart review of 130 consecutive pediatric Down syndrome patients seen at a single tertiary care children's hospital between the years 2001–2007. Middle ear function, and speech and language development, is reported and those patients who underwent tympanostomy tube insertion for middle ear disease are analyzed. Results The mean age of the patient population was 4.5 years, ranging from 8 months to 10 years. 41/130 patients (31.5%) were treated with tympanostomy tube insertion for middle ear disease. Of this group, 11/41 patients (26.8%) and 2/11 patients (18.1%) required second and third tube insertions, respectively, for persistent pathology and failed tube function. The mean age at first tube insertion was 3.3 years, while the mean age at second and third tube insertion was 6.9 and 6.0 years. Outcome measures included a documented conductive hearing loss on audiological assessment and/or persistent middle ear effusion on physical exam. Speech and language skills were also assessed. Conclusions Children with Down syndrome have an increased incidence and persistence of middle ear disease. Additionally, affected children may require multiple surgical interventions for persistent disease and failed tube function. The multiple medical problems often associated with Down syndrome result in an increased anesthetic risk for these patients. Therefore, we propose the utility of a durable tympanostomy tube for more efficient treatment and the avoidance of multiple interventions.

Abstract Background: Down syndrome is the most common cause of learning disability, affecting approximately 1 in every 700 babies. Children with Down Syndrome have particular difficulties with speech and language. This makes it challenging for them to participate fully in life, access health care services and educational opportunities. Improving the language skills of young children with Down Syndrome is vital for their future social and emotional well-being and behaviour, and consequently contribution to society. As Down Syndrome is detected before or at birth, we can provide support from early on. There are currently no standard interventions for improving the language skills of children with Down Syndrome under the age of 36 months. Evidence suggests that early parent-based interventions may be effective in improving language outcomes. In partnership with parents and speech and language therapists, we have co-developed an intervention focusing on early social communication skills and our preliminary work shows that it can lead to better language in children with Down Syndrome. Our aim is to carry out a feasibility study which will inform a future pilot/full trial to test whether the intervention is effective in improving language skills before children with Down Syndrome start school. Methods: This is a two-arm feasibility randomised controlled trial (RCT), with 1:1 randomisation stratified by trial site comparing the intervention (plus standard NHS speech and language therapy) with no intervention (standard NHS speech and language therapy only). We aim to recruit between 25 and 30 children with Down Syndrome aged between 12 and 30 months. Sites are defined by the geographical boundaries of three National Health Service (NHS) Trusts. Recruitment is from NHS Speech and Language Therapist caseloads within the 3 Trusts and self-referral. In the intervention arm parents/guardians will receive brief training on the parent-based intervention and a manual to follow with their child for 10 weeks. The children’s language and early communication skills and family health outcomes will be assessed by a blinded assessor at baseline, post-intervention and 6 month follow up. Questionnaire and semi-structured interviews will explore the acceptability of the intervention to parents and SLTs.Discussion: The feasibility study’s outcomes will determine whether it would be viable to progress to a full-trial and whether adjustments need to made to the procedures, data collection methods, intervention delivery, and the intensity of support needed. We want to assess whether our early intervention can be delivered and rolled out through NHS Speech and Language Therapy Services. We anticipate that NHS services will need to make ongoing changes due to the COVID19 pandemic, so it is likely we will need to make adjustments for the definitive trial. We will also calculate descriptive statistics of the language outcome measure which will we use for any future sample size calculation. Trial registration: ISRCTN13902755.

The authors of the article present two techniques supporting the development of articulation in children with Down syndrome: Articulation Gestures and Phoneme Manual Facilitation. Using their own clinical experience and referring to the latest neurobiological knowledge and subject literature, they justify the importance and, in some cases, the need to apply these techniques in speech therapy of children with trisomy 21. The text also presents three individual cases of children with Down syndrome of different ages who have been diagnosed with profound speech delay.
