Question
Children with Trisomy 21 Syndrome grow more slowly than their peers, and although they can already run and feed themselves, they can only say simple words like ’no’ and ‘mom.’ Despite having normal comprehension abilities, they are unable to express themselves fluently. How can one promote their language development to reach the same level as their peers?
Answer
Trisomy 21 Syndrome, also known as Down syndrome, is a disease caused by chromosomal abnormalities in number or structure, characterized primarily by developmental delays in mental and physical growth. It is recommended to undergo chromosomal testing during pregnancy to detect and appropriately address it early. For children who have already been born, parents should maintain a peaceful attitude, pay attention to their child’s rest and living habits, and avoid excessive stress. In daily life, it is helpful to engage in conversations with the child, which will aid in their language development
