Developmental dyspraxia in a family with X-linked mental retardation (Renpenning syndrome) / John F. MCLAUGHLIN in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 22-1 (February 1980)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 22-1 (February 1980) . - p.84-92 Titre : Developmental dyspraxia in a family with X-linked mental retardation (Renpenning syndrome) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : John F. MCLAUGHLIN, Auteur ; Elinor KRIEGSMAN, Auteur Année de publication : 1980 Article en page(s) : p.84-92 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This paper describes the existence of severe developmental speech dyspraxia in a member of a family that is typical of other reports of X-linked mental retardation without physical abnormality (Renpenning syndrome). Other family members have evidence of motor or speech dyspraxia. Other reports of X-linked mental retardation have mentioned "verbal disability", which suggests that developmental dyspraxia may be quite common in these families. Developmental dyspraxia of speech is amenable to specific types of intervention: after two years of such intervention our patient's adaptive skills reflect his normal non-verbal intellectual ability, despite persistent speech deficits. This functional improvement shows how important it is to identify dyspraxia in young children, who may otherwise be labelled mentally retarded.
