Figures demonstrate relationships between growth in mean length of utterance and domains of the PRS-SA, including theory of mind (e.g., length of turn and level of detail, appropriate referencing) and discourse management (e.g., reciprocal conversation, topic initiation) in boys (a) and girls (b) with DS.
