Yoder, Paul J.; And Others

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v34 n1 p155-67 Feb 1991

This study examined whether the relative efficacy of 2 language teaching methods was predicted by pretreatment subject characteristics of 40 handicapped preschoolers. Seven statistical interactions between pretreatment subject characteristics and language teaching methods indicated that lower-functioning children benefited more from the Milieu Teaching method and higher-functioning children benefited more from the Communication Training Program.
