    Author: Hulme JB, Bain B, Hardin M, McKinnon A, Waldron D.
    Journal: J Commun Disord; 1989 Apr; 22(2):137-45. PubMed ID: 2723144.
    Abstract:
    This study examined the relationship between receipt of adaptive seating devices (ASD) and sophistication of early vocalizations/verbalizations. Eight nonverbal children with cerebral palsy were studied prior to and following receipt of an ASD. Total speech tokens increased for 7 of the 8 subjects and diversity of speech sounds increased for 6 subjects. A concomitant improvement in feeding independence was observed for those subjects who demonstrated the greatest increase in speech sound diversity.
