There are many genetic conditions with paediatric and adult-onset that cause loss of communication skills.
Changes in speech, language and augmentative and alternative communication skills are important for identifying regression. In fact, speech and language features are often the very first signs of a genetic condition.
Changes in speech, language and augmentative and alternative communication skills can be sensitive markers of progression and response to treatment.
Join this webinar to consider how speech pathologists and other clinicians can work with families to support communication and plan for future communication needs for an individual experiencing a loss of skills.
Lottie Morison
