The topic I am interested in is Down's Syndrome. I have learned a little bit about this condition. I know that it causes mental retardation and that the levels of severity range from mild to severe and profound. I visited the Open Door school in Ironton when I was in high school and this disorder seemed to be the most prevelent, that's why it captured my attention. But, I don't know the learning capabilities of a child with Down's.
Essential Question: Can learning sign language assist a child with Down's Syndrome with language acqusition?
