Communication Development and Aberrant Behavior in Children with Developmental Disabilities.
Sigafoos, Jeff
Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, v35 n2 p168-76 Jun 2000
A study examined the relation between communication development and aberrant behavior in 13 preschool children with developmental disabilities. There was a strong inverse relation between communication ability and severity of aberrant behavior. Deficits in receptive language were more strongly associated with severe aberrant behavior, particularly for hyperactivity and lethargy. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
