Children with Rett syndrome (RS) exhibit preintentional communication, consistent with profound intellectual disability. Their cognitive performance aligns with early sensorimotor stages, impacting purposeful behavior and communication development.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Linguistics

Background:

  • Rett syndrome (RS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder impacting communication.
  • Previous research has not detailed the communicative competence or intentionality in children with RS.
  • Understanding communication in RS is crucial for therapeutic interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively describe the communicative behaviors of girls with Rett syndrome.
  • To assess the intentionality of communication in this population.
  • To correlate communication levels with cognitive performance.

Main Methods:

  • Investigated 6 girls diagnosed with Rett syndrome, aged 2-13 years.
  • Assessed communicative behaviors and intentionality.

  • Evaluated cognitive performance using Piagetian Sensorimotor Stages, specifically Means-End behavior.

    • Main Results:

    • All participants demonstrated preintentional communication.
    • Cognitive assessments indicated profound intellectual disability.
    • No purposeful (Means-End) behavior beyond Piagetian Sensorimotor Stage III was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • The preintentional communication level in girls with RS is consistent with their profound intellectual disability.
    • Communication in Rett syndrome appears to be at a preintentional level, linked to cognitive deficits.
    • Findings have implications for tailoring therapeutic interventions for individuals with Rett syndrome.
