Speech and Language Therapy for Weaver Syndrome

Abstract

We describe in this study a male with Weaver syndrome who received treatment for delayed speech-language development for a period of 13 months, from the age of 1:11 to 3:0. Although his performance remained below chronological age norms, significant gains were noted in receptive and expressive language skills. We believe this is the first report of disordered communication in a recognized case of Weaver syndrome.
