Parent and Teacher Ratings of Communication among Children with Severe Disabilities and Visual Impairment/Blindness
Cascella, Paul W.; Trief, Ellen; Bruce, Susan M.
Communication Disorders Quarterly, v33 n4 p249-251 Aug 2012
Three trends emerged from independent parent and teacher ratings of receptive communication and expressive forms and functions among students with severe disabilities and visual impairment/blindness. Parents had higher ratings than teachers, receptive communication was rated the highest, and no skills occurred often. Implications are discussed for ecologically sensitive communication scales. (Contains 1 table.)
