Question 1
Based on research on children with hearing impairments, which of the following recommendations should be offered to parents and teachers?
◦ ASL should be learned and used by both parents and teachers.
◦ ASL should be used in the home and school only until early multiple-word utterances can be signed.
◦ ASL should be used by parents at home, but not by teachers within the classroom.
◦ ASL is ineffective and does not contribute to oral language development.
Question 2
A often talks at the same time as others during group time. This most likely explanation for this behavior is that the child:
◦ has been poorly socialized at home.
◦ is from a family or culture where talking at the same time is the norm.
◦ does not understand the basics of pragmatics.
◦ is engaging in egocentric speech.
