About this Talk

Following on from Part Two which explored formal/standardised assessments of receptive language and cognition adapted for eye gaze, and the pros and cons of formal and informal methods, this webinar will consider the challenges encountered, and the internal and external features that impact assessment of language and cognition in people with Rett syndrome.

Gill Townend and Callie Ward will use examples from the international Rett syndrome communication guidelines and a pilot project they have undertaken.

The recording is 54 minutes.

A copy of the slides and a certificate of attendance can be downloaded from the Media tab (to the right of the recording).
