Breaking the Speech Barrier: Language Development Through Augmented Means [Large Print]

by Mary Ann Romski

In school, but "locked out" 13 youth, each with fewer than 10 productive words to use to build their relationship with families, teachers, and friends. That is, until they were introduced to the System for Augmenting Language, or SAL. In a wonderful meshing of science and the real world, this remarkable book chronicles the process of language learning through augmented means for people who have significant difficulty acquiring spoken language.

Wonderful for graduate students in communicative disorders

I am a graduate student at Gallaudet University. After owning library late fees, I decided to purchase my own copy of this book. This will be a great general reference to anything related to communication disorders and mental retardation in future papers and future job practice as a researcher.
