Cross-Sectional Analysis of Caregiver-Reported Expressive Language Profiles and Associated Covariates in Individuals with Down Syndrome.

Caregiver-reported expressive language abilities in a cohort of individuals with DS were variable, with most of the individuals belonging to higher or middle CREL classes, relative to one another. Additional studies are indicated to understand factors that predict higher expressive language ability and explore how to direct services to individuals who are at risk of more profound language delays.
