RESUMO

Aiming to study the emergence of expressive language in Down Syndrome (DS), a qualitative study was carried out, based on the dialetic-didactic method, with 12 children, who were followed for three consecutive semesters: eight with DS, with ages between 33 and 52 months at the beginning, and four in typical development (TD), with 14 to 16 months old, all of them, cognitively, in the transition from the fifth to the sixth stage of the sensorimotor period. At the end of the study, data confirmed the evolution from gesture to oral expression and showed that, in some children with DS, gestural communication was predominant, while others had both oral and gestural communication simultaneously
