abstract = "Children with multiple disabilties are confronted with severe limitations in language and literacy development at early age. AAC integrated in a computer-based, interactive play-/learning device with tangible objects and a program based on interactive story-telling and anchored instruction enhances and improves opportunities for an earlier and more effective breakthrough to language and literacy competences. This product, called LinguaBytes, will be developed in a three-year research project for multiple disabled children at pre-school age.",
