Language and Speech Disorder in Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum

Abstract

This study intends to provide information about a rare condition caused by a fiberal abnormality, as well as ongoing assess- ment and treatment procedures. One 42-month-old participant with corpus callosum agenesis was assessed using the TEDIL and TIGE assessment tests and had speech and language treatment for 18 months following that. The second examination was carried out while therapy was still in progress. In the beginning of the intervention process, the participant was found to produce only 5-6 single words while also exhibiting a variety of behavioral issues. The participant was able to use more words, word combinations, and pragmatic gestures after 18 months of sessions, as well as having better eye contact, imitation abilities, and less behavioral issues. The findings were similar to those of other studies focusing on corpus callosum agenesis, which indi- cates that the participant had developmental delays and speech and language disorders. It is believed that a multidisciplinary team would be more effective in conducting the intervention and assessment procedure.
