If your child has this, does it mean that if they were to have children, they would have a higher chance of having the syndrom? Or is this something that goes haywire and anyone can get it? Sorry for poorly wording this question, I'm not well educated in these syndromes.

since your daughter has a speech problem due to this syndrome, and I'm assuming her mobility is fine, would teaching her sign language while she speaks help her communicate better? I know that many parents of hearing children (parents are hearing as well) teach their infants some sign language to help them communicate. Things like: milk, food, more, thank you etc. They do it because babies at that time haven't developed speech so the signing helps baby and parent. Do you think this would possibly help you? I understand that being her parent, you obviously know and understand everything she says (much like how parents know which identical twin is which).

that's what I asked OP, also. I figured since OPs daughter has speech problems, maybe signing it would help their communication. The thing is, they are the parent so they know what their daughter is saying. It's like a parents knows which identical is Mike and the other is Paul....

But, on the other hand, hearing parents teach their hearing infants how to sign since their mobility is developed, just not their speech.

def not saying what I believe as "ignorant" is the accurate definition. I'm just saying when it comes to the word, to me it's someone that thinks they know everything when they don't....

I asked OP about this, so please don't be offended when i ask you this. You say your child has a speech issue, have you ever thought about sign language to better communicate? A lot of hearing parents teach their hearing infants how to sign to communicate, what do you think?
