Investigation of Relationship Between Basic Concept and Mean Length of Utterances in Children with Down Syndrome

Abstract

The study was conducted to investigate the development of children (N=30) with Down syndrome (DS) in terms of basic concepts and mean length of utterances (MLU). The universe of this study was consisted of 3-6 years of children with DS located in Ankara, in 2010-2011. All participants are paid attention to have a special education evaluation report in Down syndrome diagnosis.The basic concepts scores were obtained through one-on-one application of the Boehm-3 Basic Concepts Test for children in the groupe DS. Participants’ MLUs were determined by taking natural language samples. It was found that the relationship between the MLU and basic concept total score of the children with DS (r=0.71; p<0.01) were significant. This study allowed us to investigate the MLU and basic concept development of the children in the DS groups in detail. It is thought that the obtained shed light for the researchers and educators in this field
