  • Foundational research and current views on communication development are synthesized.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize intervention research and current perspectives on communication development in children with developmental disabilities.

  • Synthesis of current views on communication development.
  • Illustration of research findings with specific child populations (autism, Williams syndrome, Down syndrome, augmentative communication users).

    • Main Results:

    • Child characteristics interact with caregiver input (e.g., parent talk) to influence language development.
    • Parent-child interactions are crucial for language acquisition.
    • Peer interactions and classroom environments significantly impact language learning and use in young children with developmental disabilities.

    Conclusions:

    • Community support systems, particularly parents and peers, play a critical role in communication development.
    • Understanding the interplay of child characteristics, caregiver interactions, and environmental factors is essential for effective interventions.
    • Early and ongoing support within various contexts facilitates language development in children with disabilities.
