Development of Listening Skills in Retarded Children: A Correspondence Training Program.

Keogh, Deborah; And Others

Child and Family Behavior Therapy, v5 n1 p51-71 Spr 1983

A study showed that mentally retarded children can be taught rather easily to verbalize instructions, suggesting that past difficulty in such training was due more to inadequate procedures than to inherent difficulties related to children's ability to self-instruct. Correspondence between the children's verbal and nonverbal behavior was also produced. (CMG)
