Abstract

Objectives

Rett syndrome, a rare genetic disorder, may impact language development and be associated with severe communication deficits. Communication partners, such as parents and health professionals involved in children’s daily lives with RTT, are the most relevant for understanding their communication needs. This article aimed to provide an overview of the identification of communication abilities in children with RTT in their daily routine from the perspectives of communication partners who interact with individuals diagnosed with RTT.

Methods

A scoping review was used to comprehensively search and gather evidence from existing literature on how communication partners understand, define, and classify the communication abilities of children with RTT in their daily routines. The quality of each selected study was assessed using the modified critical appraisal skills program (CASP) checklist.

Results

This scoping review revealed specific communication abilities in children with RTT as described by the communication partners interacting with them daily. Accurate assessment outcomes rely on the communication partners’ perspectives on the communication skills of children with RTT.

Conclusions

This review highlights the need for future studies to support and identify preassigned communicative acts in the communication assessment of children with RTT.

Rett综合征儿童日常沟通能力的研究：基于沟通伙伴的视角

目的rett综合征是一种罕见的遗传性疾病，可能会影响语言发育，并与严重的沟通缺陷有关。沟通伙伴，如父母和卫生专业人员参与儿童与RTT的日常生活，是最相关的了解他们的沟通需求。本文旨在从与被诊断为RTT的个体互动的沟通伙伴的角度，概述RTT儿童在日常生活中的沟通能力识别。方法采用范围回顾法，从现有文献中全面检索和收集证据，了解交际伙伴如何理解、定义和分类RTT儿童在日常生活中的交际能力。每个选定研究的质量都是用改良的关键评估技能程序（CASP）检查表来评估的。结果这一范围回顾揭示了RTT儿童的特定沟通能力，这是由与他们日常互动的沟通伙伴所描述的。准确的评估结果取决于沟通伙伴对RTT儿童沟通技巧的看法。结论本综述强调了未来研究支持和识别RTT儿童沟通评估中预先分配的沟通行为的必要性。
