The communicative patterns of preschool hearing-impaired children : a pilot study Parson-Tylka, Terry

Abstract

A system for examining the functions of language and modes of communication used by preschool hearing-impaired children and their mothers was developed and pilot tested. Transcription and coding of video-tape interactions reveal the usefulness of the system. A functional analysis determined that mother-child dyads correlate highly in their use of functions, but not in their use of modes. Six minute time samples correlate highly with 15 minute time samples. Limitations and implications of this research are discussed.
