Abstract
Three language delayed brothers and their mother were taught signs for 30 words selected as potentially functional in the home. Signs were randomly assigned to one of six groups of five each. One group was taught to each brother, one group to their mother, one group all subjects early, and one group to all subjects late. Each subject was probed on all family members, provided the member receiving training demonstrated mastery.Keywords
