Abstract
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare demyelinating genetic disorder occurring due to mutation in the gene ABCD1. The current case study involved detailed evaluation of communication skills including audiological and speech-language evaluations of a 6 year old diagnosed with ALD. The child evidenced severely restricted communication skills along with several other subsystems affected.
