Abstract

The Down Syndrome is studied thoroughly and has its symptoms and phenotypic characteristics described in several scientific works. Children with this Syndrome present global delays in their development, including linguistic deficits. Studies pointed language alterations since birth, however there are doubts regarding aspects of the acquisition and development of the children's language with Down Syndrome. The objective of study is to analyze and to characterize the receptive and expressive vocabulary of children with Down Syndrome. After execution of the ethical aspects, it will be evaluated 20 children with Down Syndrome, of both genders, with age varying between 36 and 71 months and 20 children without alteration of the development, matched on gender and intellectual level. An initial interview will be accomplished with the responsible of the children and it will be applied the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventories: First words and gestures. The evaluation will be composed by Communicative Behaviour Observation; application of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, of the Teste de Linguagem Infantil ABFW - Parte de Vocabulário and of the Denver II Development Screening Test. Psychological evaluation will be accomplished with the application of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales to match the intellectual level. The evaluations will be filmed for subsequent analysis. The statistical analyses of the obtained data will be accomplished through no parametric tests. (AU)
