Abstract
Setting: Intervention was delivered by an interventionist working individually with each participant in a quiet room. Participants: Eight participants (four males and four females) with Williams syndrome diagnosed via fluorescence in situ hybridization (genetic testing) were included. All eight lived in Spain with Spanish-speaking families. Ages ranged from eight to 24 years (M = 16 years). Participants’ Mean Length of Utterance (MLU) were in the range expected of typical developing children of pre-school age.
期刊介绍:
Evidence-Based Communication Assessment and Intervention (EBCAI) brings together professionals who work in clinical and educational practice as well as researchers from all disciplines to promote evidence-based practice (EBP) in serving individuals with communication impairments. The primary aims of EBCAI are to: Promote evidence-based practice (EBP) in communication assessment and intervention; Appraise the latest and best communication assessment and intervention studies so as to facilitate the use of research findings in clinical and educational practice; Provide a forum for discussions that advance EBP; and Disseminate research on EBP. We target speech-language pathologists, special educators, regular educators, applied behavior analysts, clinical psychologists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists who serve children or adults with communication impairments.
