Preferred communication modes: prelinguistic and linguistic communication in non-speaking preschool children with cerebral palsy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Efforts to increase the evidence base in speech and language therapy are often limited by methodological factors that have restricted the strength of the evidence to the lower levels of the evidence hierarchy. Where higher graded studies, such as randomized controlled trials, have been carried out, it has so...
