    Author: Thomke H, Boser K.
    Journal: Cogn Behav Neurol; 2011 Sep; 24(3):156-67. PubMed ID: 21945988.
    Abstract:
    A 1977 Swiss case study is presented in English translation: a mute child with infantile autism is taught to speak starting at the relatively late age of 6. The author, who is the primary therapist and the child's father, details the conditioning procedure, discusses theoretical considerations in speech acquisition, and outlines the limits of the training. The author and translator update the child's status and add commentary.
