The current study examined parent perceptions of communication, the focus of early intervention goals and strategies, and factors predicting the implementation of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) for 26 two-year-old children with cerebral palsy. Parents completed a communication questionnaire and provided early intervention plans detailing child speech and language goals. Results indicated that receptive language had the strongest association with parent perceptions of communication. Children who were not talking received a greater number of intervention goals, had a greater variety of goals, and had more AAC goals than children who were emerging and established talkers. Finally, expressive language had the strongest influence on AAC decisions. Results are discussed in terms of the relationship between parent perceptions and language skills, communication as an emphasis in early intervention, AAC intervention decisions, and the importance of receptive language.
本研究调查了26名两岁脑瘫儿童的家长对沟通的看法、早期干预目标和策略的重点，以及预测辅助和替代沟通（AAC）实施情况的因素。家长们完成了一份沟通问卷，并提供了详细说明儿童言语和语言目标的早期干预计划。结果表明，接受性语言与家长对沟通的看法关联最强。与刚开始说话和已能说话的儿童相比，不会说话的儿童获得的干预目标更多、目标种类更多，且AAC目标也更多。最后，表达性语言对AAC决策的影响最大。本文从家长看法与语言技能之间的关系、沟通作为早期干预重点、AAC干预决策以及接受性语言的重要性等方面对研究结果进行了讨论。
