Development of Intentionality in the Vocalization of Handicapped Infants Reared in a Hospital Setting.
Bochner, Sandra
Australia and New Zealand Journal of Developmental Disabilities, v12 n1 p55-63 Mar 1986
The 15-month study followed the vocal development of five handicapped (Down Syndrome, hydrocephalus, and spina bifida) hospital reared infants. Results suggested that only the two less handicapped infants demonstrated use of sounds for social interaction and that the other infants used vocalization primarily as protest or self-stimulation.
