DEVELOPMENT OF NON-LINGUISTIC COMMUNICATION SKILLS, which presents the
results of research accomplished through the joint sponsorship of the
SonomaDevelopment Center (SDS) and the College of Education of Florida
Atlantic University (FAU), examines the development of prelanguage and
nonlingu- istic skills in individuals with various types and degrees of
developmental disabilities. Utilizing the dichotomies that may exist
betweencommunication and language, the book explores communication
skills rather than formal language systems acquisition.
