Language Development in Down's Syndrome: A Life-span Perspective.

Rondal, Jean A.

International Journal of Behavioral Development, v11 n1 p21-36 Mar 1988

Examines questions related to whether children with severe learning disabilities go through the same developmental stages as children without such problems, or whether they develop along different lines. Explores the "delay" versus "deviance" issue in relation to linguistic development in children with Down's syndrome. Looks into a more "transactional" approach. (RWB)
