Defining and tracking clinical severity and assessing cognition and language
Since individuals with Rett syndrome are nonverbal or have limited language, it is a challenge to assess higher-level cognitive and language skills, since traditional assessments rely on language or communication responses, and observational reports provide limited insight. Dr. Peters is using innovative technologies to track clinical severity and higher-level cognitive skills.
