Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Performance in expressive vocabulary of children with Down Syndrome lower than typically developing children, , after application of the test ABFW, check the percentages of correct appointment, no appointment and replacement processes and statistical analysis of these values.;After the statistical treatment, a statistically significant difference was verified in the comparison between the three groups regarding the skill naming correctly the image presented (p<0,001). It was possible to verify a statistically significant difference for the no designation (ND) in the comparison between the three groups by ANOVA (p<0,001). As the distribution of the scores in the skill processes of substitution did not present homogeneity, the Kruskal-Wallis test was performed. In this skill statistical analysis, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (p=0,928). | — |
