A 23-year review of communication development in an individual with agenesis of the corpus callosum
Abstract
Twenty-three years of observation and testing of the communication skills of a male participant with agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) and normal IQ revealed initial weakness in content and form of language. While his general ability to communicate improved over time, difficulties with fluent speech in conversations and pragmatic language skills persisted into young adulthood. With intensive intervention, communication and academic skills developed by late adolescence, which allowed the participant to complete a regular high school program. Discussion includes similarities and differences between this longitudinal case study and other reports of individuals with ACC with respect to communication skills. A clinical intervention approach based on collaboration between client, school, and the client's family is described.

Several cognitive and social deficits observed in autism have also been described in individuals with agenesis of the corpus callosum.
“Several cognitive and social deficits observed in autism have also been described in individuals with agenesis of the CC, although not all individuals with these deficits meet full DSM-IV-TR criteria for autistic disorder.”

The results are consistent with evidence from investigations of individuals with agenesis of the corpus callosum.
“Results reported here are consistent with evidence from investigations examining individuals with agenesis of the CC, pointing to the role that this structure plays in complex brain functions.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
