Predictors of Speech Ability in Down Syndrome

"A child's spontaneous or elicited word production containing phonological errors is immediately followed with a clinician verbal model that corrects the error(s) at the word level rather than the isolated phoneme level. As an example, a speech recast of child's production of the word bake as \[be\] would be the whole lexeme bake \[bek\] rather than production drill on \[k\] in isolation."
