Your Baby Can Read....Research?

[Katie Alcock]

Recent interventions with children who have Down Syndrome suggest that yes,
it is possible for a child whose functioning is overall at a level of about
16 months to learn to match visual words, to associate visual words with
objects, and to associate visual words with spoken words.

The early indications are this is very helpful for children whose visual
skills are a strength and whose articulation is not great - but I'm not
quite sure why - apart from curiosity/the Everest factor - you'd want to do
this with typically developing children.
