Abstrakt: Few models appropriately or adequately describe the literacy development experiences of children with atypical communication development, such as those with language impairment or severe disabilities. In this paper, the Interactive-to-Independent Model of literacy development is presented, influenced primarily by Vygotsky's seminal theories of development through social engagement and interaction. The Interactive-to-Independent Model can be used by teachers and speech-language pathologists as a foundation for designing literacy goals and interventions for children with atypical and/or more severe levels of communication impairment. Two case studies are presented, outlining the literacy goals for a child with mild to moderate mental retardation and a child with autism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
