All About the LKS Blog!

Landau Kleffner Syndrome is a speech disorder that is developed in young children, usually around the age of three. It effects the part of the brain where the speech is. While the child may have perfect hearing, what is being processed may not be what is actually heard. This speech disorder is caused from a seizure, and most children, with the right help, can recover from it. With the loss of communication though, some children may develop behavioral or psychological problems.

OBJECTIVES:
1 Learning the basics to what Landau Kleffner Syndrome really is.
2 Seeing how a child may be effected by this Landau Kleffner Syndrome speech disorder.
3 How to help a child recover, such as in a classroom, or find devices and ways to help communicate with the child that will be beneficiary.

Landau Kleffner Syndrome in the Past into the Future


If you want to know how Landau Kleffner Syndrome came about, or how it was first noticed, and the sciences of how it effects children, this is the perfect site! Here, this site teaches us that Landau-Kleffner Syndrome has to do with dealing with a certain type of aphasia. It was then later a syndrome placed under epilepsy. Isn't that interesting? This site also gives a lot of interesting facts dealing with different types and specific cases of Landau. It is very interesting to see how so much can go into this syndrome and how much it involves.
The one thing about this site that makes it hard to navigate is the big wording. Although it is very detailed and useful information, one may not understand the big words and concepts, and therefore have a hard time understanding the details about the syndrome itself. I notices especially when talking about EEG's, there are some confusing statements there if the reader did not know what some of those words are, or ment. Other than that, this is a great site to find some very useful information about Landau-Kleffner Syndrome.
