Using Pictorial Representations as Communication Means with Low-Functioning Children.

Lancioni, Giulio E.

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v13 n1 p87-105 Mar 1983

A pictorial system allowing receptive communication was implemented with one severely mentally retarded (SMR) and two autistic and SMR children (8.5, 10.4, and 12.8 years old). Although those low functioning children had shown severe problems in learning manual signs, they were successfully taught pictorial representations as communication means. (Author/SEW)
