Abstract:

Practical strategies are presented for building listening and spoken language skills of children who sign. Examples include families of infants who use sign as a temporary support, older children in signing school programs, children with multiple disabilities, and children from culturally Deaf families. While adaptations have been made core Auditory Verbal principles guide practice with applications for home, clinic, and school. Issues of assessment, parent coaching, use of technology, developmental appropriateness, and classroom support are addressed.
