“…Research on Down syndrome children has been done as well as research on the language skills of Down syndrome children. Research on the acquisition of phonology of various languages in Down syndrome children has been carried out by several researchers (Ayyad et al, 2021;Diez-Itza et al, 2021;Katsarou & Andreou, 2022). Research conducted on Down syndrome children with different age ranges but equally specialized in phonological acquisition studies on consonants and vowels.…”

Language acquisition is a process that takes place in a child's brain when he acquires his first language or mother tongue which means language acquisition in relation to his first language. This study aims to analyze the acquisition of Indonesian phonology in Down syndrome children. This study was conducted on 5 Down syndrome, age range of 6-9 years. This study use Blumstein's theory of speech changes is used to determine the change of speech sounds and Jacobson's theory is used to determine the acquisition of phonology Indonesian and Jean Piaget's theory is used to describe the language development of them. The method used is proficient and record. It was found that the five respondents in pronouncing several words there was a change in the sound of speech, namely sound Deletion (Omision), sound addition (Addition), and sound replacement (Substitution). They have also acquired some of the Indonesian vowel sounds [i], [ u], [e], [o] and [a]. They can produce several vowels sounds either at the beginning, middle or end words. There are some consonants that have been acquired Indonesian and there are some consonant sounds that have not been obtained, [w], [f]. [z], and [h]. The phonological development is the stage of holoprastic. Their chronological age is 6 to 9 years, but the age of language acquisition is equivalent to the age of two years.

Purpose: Diversity considerations are of paramount significance in the clinical assessment and treatment of speech disorders in bilingual children and adults who speak a less common language (and/or its dialects). While comprehensive assessment is essential for culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) populations, this is clinically challenging due to the indeterminacy entailed in the process and incumbrances in access to resources. This clinical tutorial outlines key considerations necessary for holistic, ecological, and dynamic assessments of speech disorders internationally, focusing on Greek. Method: Pertinent literature is reviewed to provide the relevant theoretical backdrop for the ecosystemic protocol, both conceptually and schematically. Greek is utilized as an example language, aiming to underscore knowledge, tools, and other resources on clinically relevant aspects of dialectal, interlanguage (adult second language [L2]), and child multilingual (L2/third language) variation in Greek-dominant speakers. Results: The tutorial highlights facets of Greek speech and scripts a primary assessment model for clinical use mostly targeting clinicians that are not speakers or cognizant of the language, also viewing speech in linguistic diversity as a sociolinguistic construct. Recommendations for clinical practices are outlined proposing a specific action plan, exemplified by a case scenario. Conclusions: The demonstrated ecosystemic paradigm in holistic, ecological protocols for clinical assessment of speech disorder in CLD speakers addresses the need for nonlinear, multilevel assessment of variable language exposure and use; being sensitive to individual speaker specificities; the sociolinguistic environment; and employing people-first, culturally sensitive, and dynamic strategies in clinical assessment. The stance also simplifies disambiguation tasks regarding the difference disorder dichotomy, enhancing existing clinical procedures.

Down syndrome, a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder, is caused by a chromosomal abnormality and is accompanied by mild to severe intellectual disabilities. From the beginning of people with Down Syndrome's lives, they face learning difficulties, mainly in the areas of grammar, articulation, and syntax with a delay in both non-verbal and verbal communication. Developmental language disorder, the causes of which have not yet been elucidated, consists of the failure to develop language and age-expected language skills in an otherwise typically developing individual. It is noticed in the early developmental period of the person and affects, as in Down syndrome, the quality of life of the person as a whole, as one or more language areas are affected. The purpose of this paper is to describe the language deficits of the above two disorders, to join the different levels of linguistic analysis, to describe the ways of manifestation and the criticality of the deficits, and to evaluate them in terms of their severity for the quality of life of these individuals.
