Three Procedures for Increasing Vocal Response to Therapist Prompt in Infants and Children with Down Syndrome.

Drash, Philip W.; And Others

American Journal on Mental Retardation, v94 n1 p64-73 Jul 1989

The relative effectiveness of three procedures for increasing vocal response to prompt in 15 preschool children with Down Syndrome was compared. Light-dimming and visual screening, when combined with positive reinforcement, were both found to be significantly more effective than positive reinforcement alone. (Author/JDD)
