Abstract
The relationship between play scores and communication skills measured in two ways was investigated in 19 young children with Down syndrome. When play competence, as observed in a play arena, was compared to mothers' perceptions of receptive and expressive communication skills, moderate and significant correlations were found. When play skills were compared to six language production measures, play was moderately and significantly correlated with only one measure, mean length of utterance in morphemes. Implications for these findings and for team assessments are discussed.
