Explicit Oral Narrative Intervention for Students with Williams Syndrome
2018
Narrative skills play a crucial role in organizing experience, facilitating social interaction and building academic discourse and literacy. They are at the interface of cognitive, social, and linguistic abilities related to school engagement.

The aim of the present study was to assess retelling of a TV cartoon tale and the effect of an individualized explicit instruction of the narrative structure. Participants included eight students with WS who attended different special education levels. Narratives…
Narrowing the Genetic Causes of Language Dysfunction in the 1q21.1 Microduplication Syndrome
2018
The chromosome 1q21.1 duplication syndrome (OMIM# 612475) is characterized by head anomalies, mild facial dysmorphisms, and cognitive problems, including autistic features, mental retardation, developmental delay, and learning disabilities. Speech and language development are sometimes impaired, but no detailed characterization of language problems in this condition has been provided to date. We report in detail on the cognitive and language phenotype of a child who presents with a duplication in 1q21.1 (arr[hg19] 1q21.1q21.2(145,764,455-147,824,207) × 3), and who exhibits cognitive delay and behavioral disturbances. Language is significantly perturbed, being the expressive domain the most …
Adaptación del formato chat para la transcripción y codificación de los datos de lenguaje patológico del corpus 'PERLA'
2015
En este trabajo se ofrece una adaptación del formato de transcripción y codificación CHAT (Codes for the Human Analysis of Transcripts) que ha sido específicamente desarrollada para posibilitar el trasvase del corpus PerLA de lenguaje patológico a la base de datos internacional TALKBANK. Para ello, se requiere la adopción de un formato estandarizado de transcripción y codificación compatible con el software CLAN (Computerized Language ANalysis) de análisis automatizado de lenguaje. Este formato admite, sin embargo, un grado considerable de variación en la elección de las convenciones empleadas, en función de la naturaleza de los datos, la perspectiva del estudio para el que el corpus haya s…
