title: Oral Language Development in a Child With Floating-Harbor Syndrome.
abstract: This clinical exchange presents a 3-year case study of oral language skill development in a child with Floating-Harbor syndrome (FHS). FHS is a rare condition that is characterized by short stature, expressive language delay, and triangular facies. Oral language skills were developed in the context of a naturalistic language intervention approach, within an early childhood schoolbased program. Initial presenting speech and language characteristics, as well as long-term needs, are discussed.
