Augmentative Communication Modes Taught to Cerebral Palsied Children: Findings from a Longitudinal Study.

Udwin, Orlee; Yule, William

International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, v10 n2 p202-06 1987

The impact of augmentative systems on the communicative abilities of two groups of young cerebral palsied children (total N=40) who were learning either Blissymbols or Makaton Signing was evaluated. Results indicated no significant differences between the systems and slow progress and severe limitations in sign/symbol repertoires of most children. (DB)
