DEVELOPMENT OF VOCABULARY IN CHILDREN WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES
- Faculty of Education, Psychology and Art, University of Latvia, Imantas 7. līnija 1, Riga, Latvia.
The article "Development of Vocabulary in Children with Intellectual Disabilities" is intended to reveal some incidences in a Speech Therapist's work in one of the special schools in Latvia. Individual sessions are held for younger children. Although groups are not large, working with even four students is a challenge for the Speech Therapist. As communication is essential for humans, the Speech Therapist must work towards the enrichment of the vocabulary of every student, even those with moderate or severe intellectual disabilities (or in combination with Autism Spectrum Disorder).
