Kari Schjøll Brede from Eikholt published in international journal
In the latest issue of the Journal of deafblind studies on communication Vol 2, no 1, an article by Kari Schjøll Brede from Eikholt, and co-author Jacques Souriau is published. The article presents results based on a case study that Kari conducted during her master's programme at the University of Groningen in 2008.
"Let Me Join Your Tactile Attention" is about how a five-year-old boy with deafblindness took a big and important step forward in his language development in tactile form. Video analysis works like a microscope when studying language development. The study presents 10 different small steps over a 16-month period, from a spontaneous gesture being seen and responded to and developing into a shared and meaningful sign used in dialogue.
