In this paper we report the results of an experiment we carried out in order to investigate expressive language in Down Syndrome (DS). Research has shown that during pre-school and school years, children with DS use expressive skills processes and sound patterns that are similar to those used by typically developing children. However, they eliminate these processes at a slower rate. In view of the above we conducted an experiment so as to investigate expressive language skills in forty five children with DS and forty five children with typical development in order to compare and contrast their language development. Our results showed that children with DS present more expressive language impairments in the Greek language than their typically developing counterparts.
