| LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION | LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT | COMMUNICATION | PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT | PARENTAL INFLUENCESummary: An experimental test of whether intentional communication elicits maternal responses purported to facilitate language development is presented. Fifty eight perlinguistic children with disabilities and their mothers participated. Children were randomly assigned to two staff-implemented treatments that were designed to experimentally increase intentional communication ability. Results indicated that treatment effects on maternal responses varied by pretreatment maternal education level. A pattern of results also supports the conclusion that postreatment intentional communicational to mother was, at least in part, responsible for the effect on postreatment maternal responses. [AJ].
