Effects of prelinguistic milieu teaching and parent responsivity education on dyads involving children with intellectual disabilities . This study tested the effect of a method of facilitating prelinguistic communication on parents ' responsivity and children 's communication and productive language development . The method involved Responsivity education for the parents and Prelinguistic Milieu Teaching for the children ( RPMT ) . Thirty-nine prelinguistic toddlers with intellectual disabilities and their primary caregivers participated in this study . Parent-child pairs were randomly assigned to either the RPMT group or a control group . Communication and language were assessed at study entry and 6 , 9 , and 12 months later . RPMT facilitated parental responsivity in the posttreatment period . The effect of RPMT on growth rate of child-initiated comments ( i.e. , the most common type of initiating joint attention ) varied by pretreatment measures of that variable . The effect of RPMT on growth rate of child-initiated requests ( i.e. , the most common type of initiating behavior regulation ) varied by presence or absence of Down syndrome . Finally , the effect of RPMT on growth of productive language varied by pretreatment frequency of canonical vocal communication . Recommended alterations in PMT and implications for defining which nonspeaking children are appropriate for prelinguistic goals and treatment were discussed .
