Abstract
The socialization of blind multihandicapped children depends on their acquisition of a system of communication that will permit their participation in a social world. Bereft of clear visual information and a diminished input from other senses, these children are prone to a range of language acquisition problems. Some children lack the capacity for speech while others speak in well-structured sentences that are simply repetitions of the speeech of others or of the commercials heard on radio and television.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
