3/3. A study of six cases of de Lange Amsterdam dwarf syndrome, with special attention to voice, speech and language characteristics.From a survey of southern scotland, six severly handicapped subjects (age-range 8 to 22 years) were established by firm criteria as suffering from the de Lange Amsterdam Dwarf syndrome. They showed a high incidence of behaviour disturbance. language development was retarded and all but one of the subjects were dysphonic. A connection may exist between the glottal "fry" (an unperiodical phonation of the vocal folds in a frequency below the normal pitch register) observed in the cries of the younger non-speaking cases and the hoarseness in the speech of the older subjects.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = behaviour (Clic here for more details about this article) |
