Journal of Children's Communication Development, v17 n2 p39-49 Fall-Win 1995
An interactive model of language intervention that targeted specific vocabulary was evaluated in a study of 16 mothers and their preschool children with language delays. Children in the experimental group used more target words and acquired more symbolic play gestures than those in the control group. Mothers in the experimental group reported a reduction in aggressive and destructive behaviors. (Author/DB)
