- Abstract
-
Communication preference between picture exchange and manual sign language was
examined. Our participant, Erica, was a 3-year-ten-month old female with development delays
and Apraxia. She attended a local public school special education preschool program. Erica
was presented with two communication choices, picture exchange or manual sign language,
during snack time. The results indicate a preference for Picture Exchange. The implications of
this study include the brevity of the intervention and the ability to imbed this intervention within
the typical special education classroom environment. - Downloads
