Poster Session IV

Keyword: Communication

Abstract: In a sample of 26 children and adolescents with Williams Syndrome (WS), we documented an evenly impaired language profile using the Children’s Communication Checklist (CCC-2). After adjusting for verbal IQ, relatively stronger pragmatic skills were associated with better social abilities. However, results highlighted measurement limitations (floor effects) on the CCC-2.
