Kysela, Gerard M.; And Others

Journal of Communication Disorders, v23 n2 p256-69 Apr 1990

The study assessed the turntaking skills and pragmatic language skills of 4 mildly to moderately developmentally delayed children (ages 2 and 3) and 14 nondelayed controls. Developmentally delayed children exhibited appropriate turntaking skills but a higher proportion of gestural in contrast to verbal responses to the pragmatic language tasks. (DB)
