The limited perceptual abilities of visually impaired children can make the use of conventional toys problematic in naturalistic communication interventions with this client group. This study examined the feasibility of basing joint activities around more easily perceivable microcomputer software. A 4-year-old language-delayed visually impaired girl engaged in three different computer-based joint activities with her teacher — each one designed to give her opportunities to practise the expression of specific semantic relations. Results indicate that two out of the three activities were successful in eliciting their target forms.
