Verbal and nonverbal interpersonal communication and nonverbal models of communication

Abstract

Questions: Gesture, yes or no?, when and how much? These are the questions tormenting scientists around the world. They all agree on one thing: 'Language model applied in early intervention programs influences the successful interpersonal and communication development of hearing impaired children at receptive and expressive level'. However, its influence is not crucial; the development of these children will very much depend on their hearing status, time of hearing impairment onset, model of communication used in child's direct proximity, but also on the timeframe in which the rehabilitation of hearing and speech were started.

Pitanja: gest, da ili ne, kada i u kojoj meri? su pitanja koja muče stručnjake širom sveta. U jednom se slažu svi: 'Jezički model koji se primenjuje u ranointerventnim programima utiče na uspešan interpersonalni i komunikativni razvoj dece oštećenog sluha na receptivnom i ekspresivnom nivou'. Međutim, njegov uticaj nije presudan i razvoj ove dece umnogome će zavisiti od njihovog slušnog statusa, vremena nastanka gluvoće, modela komunikacije koji se koristi u neposrednom okruženju deteta, ali i perioda kada je započeta rehabilitacija slušanja i govora.
