Language Stimulation for children with Mental Retardation

The topic of language intervention for children with mental retardation is necessarily broad and reflects the variability in the degree of language impairment associated with Mental Retardation. More ever interventions designed to improve a specific aspect of language in children with mental retardation are obviously going to differ greatly from interventions aimed at fostering the beginnings of a communication system. Yet the underlying goal for all children with mental retardation participating in language intervention is to improve their quality of life by improving their language and communication.
