Traditional analyses at the level of the phoneme were performed on data gathered on two groups of children having Down syndrome, ages 13-17 and 15-22. Their performances on 26 consonants were compared by type of phonemic errors, errors seen in normal children at comparable mental age levels and relative performances when errors were identified in connected speech, imitative word naming or spontaneous picture naming. Results indicated patterns of delayed and deviant articulatory performances in both groups, particularly in connected speech. The total number of errors in connected speech samples was greater for the older subjects who had received little or no speech-language training than the younger group subjects.
