Summary/Abstract: Down syndrome is the most frequent and the best-known disease conditioned by the occurrence of an additional autosomal chromosome in humans. The development of a child with Down syndrome is often accompanied by problems with correct speech. Since the impaired development of speech has a large impact upon the general development of the child, and it also affects their relations with the environment, it was necessary to design a programme of individual stimulation of the speech development and pro-social functions of the child. The examined child was included in an individual treatment programme. The child left on its own will not handle the accumulating difficulties that arise from the syndrome nor will it handle the impaired development.
