Individuals with Down syndrome are at high risk for choking, which can lead to serious complications. As many as 95 percent of individuals with Down syndrome have difficulty making their speech understood to unfamil iar partners. Current interventions for swallowing and speech therapy we re largely developed for individuals who do not have Down syndrome. Howe ver, these approaches may not work well, because individuals with Down s yndrome may have specific characteristics related to their facial and ne ck structure, and differences in perception and somatosensation, as well as language and cognitive abilities. Our team aims to understand how al l of these domains are interrelated in adults with Down syndrome. We wil l present an overview of the planned research and some intriguing prelim inary results.
