Facilitating Self-Initiated Proto-Declaratives and Proto-Imperatives in Prelinguistic Children with Developmental Disabilities.

Yoder, Paul J.; Warren, Steven F.

Journal of Early Intervention, v22 n4 p337-54 Fall 1999

A study involving 58 children (ages 17-32 months) with prelinguistic communication delays found that in families with high responsivity, prelinguistic milieu teaching treatment facilitated increased self-initiated proto-imperatives and proto-declaratives. In families with low responsivity, responsive small groups comparison intervention facilitated increases in self-initiated proto-imperatives. (Author/CR)
