Dr. Lemons, Thank you for mentioning how the articulation of students with Down Syndrome has improved with individualized phonetics instruction! I am not a SLP, but have seen remarkable improvement in DS children when phonemic awareness is taught using programs such as Lindamood-Bell or Orton-Gillingham. Not only are these children experiencing improved decoding skills, but articulation skills as well.
