Interpretive Exercise
When she was 13 months-old,Ruth took her first steps.Although she showed no signs of developing speech,her parents were reassured by the pediatrician that many children do not speak until age two.During the second year of life,Ruth began using gestures and facial expressions to initiate interaction with family members and to indicate preferences and needs.Her parents had her hearing tested,but there was no evidence of a hearing loss.Now,at the age of four,Ruth still does not speak and she shows no signs of understanding speech.In all other respects (e.g. ,motor skills,visual perception,physical structures necessary to produce speech,social skills),Ruth appears to be a typical four year-old.
