Effects of Augmentative Communication on Vocabulary Acquisition with Primary Age Students with Disabilities.
Snyder, Therese L.; And Others
B.C. Journal of Special Education, v17 n1 p73-93 1993
An augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) intervention was designed to increase vocabulary acquisition in five mild to moderately handicapped children (ages seven to nine) in a self-contained class. The intervention resulted in high rates of vocabulary and sentence selection for all the children, an improvement which persisted after facilitator prompting was withdrawn. (Author/DB)
