Down Syndrome Language Fluency and Narrative Review, 2002-2012

A 2012 literature review by Marília Piazzi Seno analyzed 17 articles published between 2002 and 2012 on speech disfluency and narrative performance in individuals with Down syndrome. The review selected eight articles for detailed analysis, with two focusing on dysfluency and six on narrative. It highlights the intellectual impairment and oral language disorders associated with the condition, noting that specific studies on fluency and narrative tasks remain scarce and inconclusive.
