Speech and language disorders

While individuals with Williams syndrome often have relative strengths in vocabulary and social use of language, they may experience specific challenges in areas such as spatial language and complex syntax. Speech and language disorders in this population can include articulation difficulties, pragmatic language deficits, and problems with narrative skills. Early intervention and ongoing speech and language therapy are often beneficial for addressing these challenges.
