Recent research (published December 2022) found that: “during shared book reading between parents and young children with Down syndrome, positively affects the communicative interaction that occurs between parents and their children.

Children signed more and became more active participants and through repetition, parents increased the dosage of word/sign pairings. Each of these factors have been shown to facilitate growth in children’s language abilities”

What is Key Word Sign?
