Nonverbal Narratives: Listening to People with Severe Intellectual Disability.
Dennis, Rea
Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities, v27 n4 p239-49 Win 2002
Results from focus group interviews with 23 professional disability-sector workers indicate that personal values strongly influence the practices used by study participants when they are listening to nonverbal individuals with severe intellectual disabilities. Environmental, teller, and listener impediments to successful listening are identified, along with personal values required by listeners. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
