What do cognitively challenged pupils need in order to develop communication and language in the best possible manner?
Abstract
Students with cognitive disability need special help in order to develop communication and language. The idea that language development depends upon the cognitive development it is only one theoretical hypothesis among others which cannot be used to deprive cognitively challenged pupils of the needed help, while waiting for the unspecific, and insuficient by itself, cognitive progress to give impetus to language development. In this paper the author presents facts, arguments and opinions with the intend that they may serve to think about the role of the school in the language development of the cognitively challenged student.
