Abstract
This curriculum is designed to provide appropriate communication programming for the multi-handicapped student functioning at a developmental age of 0-24 months. It is conceptually based on the developmental theory of Piaget and the movement-based model of communication of van Dijk. Goals included are the development of causality, object permanence, and imitation as well as receptive and expressive language development.
Information is given on how to assess individual children and how to adapt the curriculum to meet their special needs.
