Diagnóstico del lenguaje y su evolución en un alumno con síndrome de Down mediante BLOC-SR y BLOC-C

The assessment of language in disabled people raises many problems related to the same difficulty that they have, as well as having ef fective criteria and tests for evaluation. Age is another added difficulty, since many speech and language interventions extend beyond adolescence into adulthood.

We report a case of and adult with Down's syndrome whose language has been evaluated on the basis of observation, and also the effectiveness of a standardized test has been tested to see if it was useful for developing the intervention plan. Experience and results support the use of structured testing and scales to detect the preferred areas of intervention, as well as to reflect progress.
