| Summary: | This study identifies the relationship between strategies employed by parents and teachers and the verbal communication skills of children with mental retardation. Specifically, it determines the parent and teacher-respondents' preparedness in dealing with children with mild mental retardation (CWMMR) and the strategies they employed in teaching verbal communication with CWMMR.
The study is descriptive, participated in by 36 parents and 36 special education teachers handling CWMMR. The participants were administered a validated researcher made questionnaire.
Results revealed that 47.22% of the parents have a little knowledge about CWMMR while majority or 55.56% of the teachers have expressed much awareness about the CWMMR. Among the commonly used strategies of parents in teaching verbal communication are questions with yes/no answers, physical manipulation and modeling. The teachers' preferred strategies were questions with yes/no answers, use of drill and commands using verbal and nonverbal communication. It was also found out that the strategies used by parents are not related (r.30) with verbal communication of CWMMR whereas with teachers, strategies are found to be related (r.44) to verbal communication skills of these children. |
