Abstract:
The article describes two toddlers having Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In addition to motor problems they also exhibit attention disorders, deficits in short-term memory, speech and language disorders, and poor achievement motivation. Similar problems are reported in older Duchenne children. The etiology of the developmental disabilities, the content of the assessment protocol and the necessity for early intervention are discussed.
