Peer‐tutoring of manual signs by adults with mental handicaps

Peer‐tutoring of manual signs by adults with mental handicaps A group of eight adults with moderate to mild mental handicaps (tutors) were taught ways of promoting communication in eleven of their less able peers (students). They encouraged the students to communicate by means of combined signed and spoken utterances in naturalistic settings. As well as showing significant increases in their pre‐ and post‐intervention vocabularies, the students showed significant increases in the extent to which they responded to tutors' interactions with them. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities Wiley

Abstract

A group of eight adults with moderate to mild mental handicaps (tutors) were taught ways of promoting communication in eleven of their less able peers (students). They encouraged the students to communicate by means of combined signed and spoken utterances in naturalistic settings. As well as showing significant increases in their pre‐ and post‐intervention vocabularies, the students showed significant increases in the extent to which they responded to tutors' interactions with them.
