| Abstract: |
Highlights: [•] We explored bilingual skills in Down syndrome using a syntactic bootstrapping task. [•] There was no difference between monolingual and bilingual individuals. [•] Bilingualism did not negatively affect the individual's performance. [•] Parents of children with DS in a bilingual environment should be supported in their decision to provide bilingual input to their children. [Copyright &y& Elsevier] |
