title: An objective measurement of nonspeaking children's performance with a computer-controlled program for the stimulation of language behavior.
abstract: A method is described for recording a child's performance with a computer-controlled audio-visual device designed to stimulate language behavior in nonspeaking children. From the recorded data a child's position can be estimated on a curve derived from normal children. This position could be of value in planning treatment for a nonspeaking child and assessing his progress.
