Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) is something that has seen many developments in recent years as a result of the technology world that we live in today. This article looks at how language development is changing from previous theories such as Skinner's due to the technology we have avalible today. It also looks at how individuals with 'learning difficulties' can develop language skills in different ways with the help of new technology.
However after reading all 30 pages of the article there is still no concrete evidence to say that technology is the reason for childrens development when it comes to language or if it is just an added bonus!
It does raise some interesting points and is a good basis however a great deal more research is needed before we can say that technology does have an impact on language development in children.
this is so interesting. i am going to pinch it for my ICT lecture thanks x x x
