Abstract
Summary
This paper is a schematic attempt to synthesise a heterogeneity of therapeutic methods by specifying them in terms of a common framework of defining criteria. It characterises first a concept of code, regarded as more generic than the term language, the defining criteria of the framework and proceeds to classify speech and commonly used alternatives to speech in terms of the framework. It goes on to point out the relevance of the framework to remediation, and characterise further therapeutic alternatives.
