Assessment of Prelinguistic Behaviors in Deaf Children: Parents as Collaborators.

Dromi, Esther

Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, v8 n4 p367-82 Fall 2003

Assessment of the prelinguistic behaviors of 43 deaf children (ages 8 to 49 months) of hearing parents in Israel found only partial resemblance to the theoretical model of prelinguistic communication in hearing infants. Unique interrelationships among pointing and early noncommunicative behaviors were found with no correlation between use of referential gestures and early words or signs. (Contains references.)
