Did you know that the cause to Landau-Kleffner Syndrome is still unknown today, but it also affects children in many ways. This site is here to teach those that Landau can affect a child in ways such as misdiagnoses as a child with autism, or maybe even hearing impairment, etc.
This site tells us how it may seem when in starts such as symptoms of having seizures, difficulty reply, which in terms makes it difficult for the child to respond. With these things showing, it is said that children with this syndrome are more likely to have behavioral problems as like an autistic child would. Another thing is, this syndrome seems to appear that the boy genders are more likely to have it than the girl genders. Which to me, seems very interesting.
Children diagnosed with LKS, are affected with speech and the speech areas of their brain. It is critical that a child diagnosed with LKS has someone dealing with the symptoms and helping the child learn because it is the time of their motor skill and speech development. As the child reaches their ages towards adolescence, they are known for growing out of these know symptoms and behavior, but may still have speech issues.
Hi there, my son has been diagnosed with Autism and Landau Kleffner. He's been nonverbal since he was about 3 1/2....all of a sudden recently he's beginning to snap out of it a little. And I can't seem to find on examples of children in a similar situation. Could you share the details of Richie's story? I'm actually going to look into the sign language now after reading the info above. Thank you for sharing.
