Graphic Symbol and Speech Training of Young Children with Down Syndrome: Some Preliminary Findings.

Rhyner, Paula M. Pecyna

Journal of Childhood Communication Disorders, v12 n1 p25-47 Win 1988

Eleven preschool children with Down Syndrome were taught new words/graphic symbols (Rebus or modified Bliss) using various treatment conditions. Incorporation of graphic symbols into language intervention programs may facilitate language acquisition, provided the tasks and procedures are appropriate to the child's developmental age and level of communicative functioning.
