Assessing the Expressive Communication of Young Children With Cerebral Visual Impairment and Additional Disabilities
The expressive communication of 15 young Brazilian children with cerebral visual impairments and developmental disabilities including cerebral palsy was examined using the Portuguese parent version of the Communication Matrix. Results indicate that these children demonstrated pre-intentional, intentional, unconventional, and conventional communication behaviors to express refusal, requests, and social communication functions.
