Abstract
Participants: Four young females and two males with Down syndrome were recruited to participate in the study, their age range was between 21 and 30 years. The participants had to meet the following criteria: (a) having a diagnosis of Down syndrome; (b) living with a family member (communication partner) who must be familiar with the individual’s speech; (c) having a normal vision and hearing abilities as indicated by the interaction with the investigator; (d) using speech as the primary communication method; and (e) having limited speech intelligibility. Furthermore, four undergraduate students were also recruited to serve as unfamiliar communication partners.
期刊介绍：
Evidence-Based Communication Assessment and Intervention (EBCAI) brings together professionals who work in clinical and educational practice as well as researchers from all disciplines to promote evidence-based practice (EBP) in serving individuals with communication impairments. The primary aims of EBCAI are to: Promote evidence-based practice (EBP) in communication assessment and intervention; Appraise the latest and best communication assessment and intervention studies so as to facilitate the use of research findings in clinical and educational practice; Provide a forum for discussions that advance EBP; and Disseminate research on EBP. We target speech-language pathologists, special educators, regular educators, applied behavior analysts, clinical psychologists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists who serve children or adults with communication impairments.
