Not all children with Down syndrome develop speech at the same rate or to the same extent. While many do learn to speak and communicate effectively, others may have significant challenges with speech and language development. Early intervention, speech therapy, and supportive environments can greatly enhance communication skills in children with Down syndrome. Individual progress varies widely, so each child’s development should be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Why is American society so obsessed with Down syndrome?
Americans are not "obsessed" with Down syndrome anymore than they are with any other medical condition, disease, illness or birth defect. Down Syndrome is a condition for which there is no cure, and babies who are born with this won't have the typical 'normal' life (as compared to those without Down syndrome), and many of their parents won't either, for that matter. Unlike parents whose children don't have Downs, many of the parents of Down syndrome children will be caregivers to their children for most, if not all, of their lives. All parents want the best for their children, and it is heartbreaking for them to know that their child may never know all the same the joys those without Down syndrome do, or have a normal, productive adulthood. In fact, many Down children used to not live past the age of 30 or 40, and they have more illnesses than other children do. But, the good news is, research has made tremendous progress and the average life span for those with Down syndrome has increased greatly. There has also been much progress made as far as how much Down syndrome children are capable of doing now. Many of them now live happy, productive lives, many of them have jobs and even get married when they become adults. As far as being "obsessed", it is necessary to do research to try to prevent and treat this condition, so public awarness is crucial to get the financial assistance to help fund the much needed research.
