| Abstract: |
This paper discusses the historical context of communication and language intervention and critiques three widely used interventions. It advocates a cross-paradigmatic approach because its inherent flexibility fits with what is known about language acquisition, the nature of different intervention approaches, and human development. This approach can encompass behavioral approaches, constructivist approaches, and eclectic approaches. (JDD) |
