. Videorecordings were made in the homes of six children with Down's syndrome whose developmental ages ranged between about 1 and 2 years. Analysis of sequences initiated by parental offers to their children suggests that these children's response behaviour is sensitive to both non‐verbal aspects of the offerer's behaviour and the context in which the offer is made.
