Secondary title:	Communication of children with Down syndrome
Secondary abstract:	The communication skills develop slowlier among children with Down syndrome, just as their development in general does. But the communication area is not weak in whole among children with Down syndrome, while their gesticulation, imitation and the use of language for social purposes are their strong field. At reviewing the literature, I have focused my attention on development of speech production, language and communication among children with Down syndrome, on reasons causing the problems in these areas and on communication encouragement among children with Down syndrome through the sign supported communication system. The biggest deviations are found in speech production and language. These children adopt speech production with great difficulties in comparison with children with typical development, they start to speak with great arrears and, because of pronunciation problems, their speech is hard to understand. Their first word is spoken later in time and broadening of vocabulary is slower. Different authors explain these deviations as consequences of various causes, of which the most common are: modifications of speech organs, problems with hearing and weaker cognitive capabilities, which are present among children with Down syndrome. The results of different research show that gesticulations encourage and forward the development of speech and language. Thus, it is not surprising that the sign supported communication system, which is based on gesticulation itself, is so successful in communication, speech and language improvement among children with Down syndrome. The system itself is integrated in the child’s everyday life and is motivating for the child, which additionally stipulates its effectiveness. The sign supported communication system leads to the child’s communication abilities with the world without speech through the strong area of children with Down syndrome and, in this way, leads to a greater independence, which is an important contribution to their lives.

Abstract (ePrints):	Komunikacijske zmožnosti se, tako kot splošen razvoj, pri otrocih z downovim sindromom počasnejše razvijajo. Vendar pa celotno področje komunikacije ni šibko področje otrok z downovim sindromom, saj so kretnje, imitacija in pa uporaba jezika v socialne namene, njihovo močno področje. Pri pregledu literature sem se osredotočila na razvoj govora, jezika in komunikacije otrok z downovim sindromom, vzroke za nastanek težav na teh področjih in na spodbujanje komunikacije pri otrocih z downovim sindromom, tudi preko sistema s kretnjami podprta komunikacija. Največja odstopanja zasledimo pri govoru in jeziku. Govor ti otroci najtežje usvojijo in v primerjavi z otroki tipičnega razvoja, začnejo govoriti z velikim zaostankom, zaradi težav pri izgovorjavi pa je njihov govor slabo razumljiv. Prav tako se pri njih kasneje pojavi prva besede in počasnejše poteka širjenje besednjaka. Različni avtorji pojasnjujejo nastala odstopanja, kot posledice različnih vzrokov, med katerimi se najpogosteje pojavljajo: spremembe govornih organov, težave s sluhom in slabše kognitivne zmožnosti, ki so prisotne pri otrocih z downovim sindromom. Izsledki različnih raziskav kažejo, da kretnje spodbujajo ter pospešujejo razvoj govora in jezika. Za to torej ni presenetljivo, da je sistem s kretnjami podprta komunikacija, ki temelji prav na kretnjah, tako uspešen pri izboljšanju komunikacije, govora in jezika otrok z downovim sindromom. Sam sistem je integriran v otrokovo vsakdanje življenje in je motivirajoč za otroka, kar še dodatno pogojuje njegovo učinkovitost. Sistem s kretnjami podprta komunikacija, preko močnega področja otrok z downovim sindromom, vodi do zmožnosti sporazumevanja otroka z okolico brez govora in s tem do večje samostojnosti, kar je pomemben doprinos v njihovem življenju.
