Nonverbal Communication Skills in Down Syndrome Children.
Mundy, Peter; And Others
Child Development, v59 n1 p235-49 Feb 1988
Examines the nonverbal communication competence of 18- to 48-month-old Down Syndrome children. Results indicate that Downs children display strengths and weaknesses in nonverbal communication skills. Further, results suggest a deficit in expressive language is associated with a deficit in nonverbal requesting skill that had developed earlier among Down syndrome children. (Author/RWB)
