The Effect of Hearing Impairment on the Quality of Attachment and Mother-Toddler Interaction.

Lederberg, Amy R.; Mobley, Caryl E.

Child Development, v61 n5 p1596-1604 Oct 1990

Results suggest that development of a secure attachment and a good mother-toddler relationship does not depend on normal language development during the toddler years. (RH)
