Functional Communication

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.
