Language Intervention with the Severely Handicapped: A Decade of Research.

Bryen, Diane Nelson; Joyce, Dennis G.

Journal of Special Education, v19 n1 p7-39 Spr 1985

Forty-three language intervention studies published during the 1970s were critically analyzed. Findings indicated that, in general, studies have not paralleled current psycholinguistic thinking. Only 34.8% of the studies were successful in increasing the communicative competence of their severely handicapped subjects. (Author/CL)
