Abstract

Scientific research confirms that early use of manual signs with children who do not speak for a variety of etiological reasons brings a number of advantages: it stimulates the development of social interaction and early language abilities and extends communication functions and understanding of information, through which children collects experience and comprehension about themselves and their surrounding world. Attachment between parent and child is accentuated and clatter, crying and displeasure are decreased. The majority of children with Down Syndrome (DS) have delayed oral language development. A child with DS will sooner focus attention to visual signs than vocal expressions, which speaks in favour of encouraging social interaction with manual signs; the reception of manual signs stimulates manual expression. The authors have hypothesized that, children will first start to use manual signs for communication purposes and afterwards, from a specific sign, a spoken word or a sentence will be developed.
