Proposed intervention strategies to support language development in children with motor challenges are framed using the ICF model of disability.
Learner Outcomes:
Learner Outcome 1: Give three examples of the impact of motor delay on language development
Learner Outcome 2: List intervention suggestions for ameliorating that impact
Learner Outcome 3: Discuss the impact of team collaboration on quality of life for children with disabilities
