Hi!
I'm a Speech/Lang. Pathologist, currently working at a public school (CA)with three Downs' girls, ages 8 to 10.
I worked with a large population of these folks back in the early 90's. At the time, there were no standardized tests to rate the communication abilities of Downs', and certainly none that rated ones who were as low functioning as the folks I knew.
Has this changed? I sure hope so!I'll be formally evaluating all three in the next few weeks. Any suggestions? Please contact me at: reniefalor@yahoo.com
Thanx, in advance!!
