Basics to LKS

This website is on an online library that seems to be very useful. It provides the reader with much needed information about Landau-Kleffner Syndrome. It let's us, the readers, know that this disorder starts with children at a young age and effects their speech. I like how this website ask questions and the gives the direct answer. It helps the reader know exactly what they are looking for, or if their question about Landau-Kleffner Syndrome are similar, it's easy to navigate around to the specific information. I don't like, however, that the website is just very plain and not very colorful, it may throw a reader away, and to read over an answer they are looking for. Other than that, it has very useful information about what this syndrome does, when it happens, how to help cure it and so forth.
