Relationship between Language and Sensorimotor Development of Down's Syndrome and Nonretarded Children.

And Others; Mahoney, Gerald

American Journal of Mental Deficiency, v86 n1 p21-27 Jul 1981

This language delay appears to be related to deficiencies in vocal imitation skills but is not related to general sensorimotor functioning. (Author)
