Speech-language evaluation and rehabilitation treatment in Floating-Harbor Syndrome: a case study
No full textFloating-Harbor syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by specific facial features, short stature associated with
significantly delayed bone age and language impairment. Although language delay is a cardinal manifestation of this syndrome, few
reports describe the specific language difficulties of these patients, particularly the development of language abilities in the long run.
This paper reports on an Italian boy with Floating-Harbor syndrome and discusses his language evaluation at presentation (age 48
months) and development and progress of his language abilities after 4 years of rehabilitation treatment. At presentation he
exhibited borderline mental retardation, with verbal abilities lower than performance abilities. He showed significant impairment of
both expressive and receptive language, and also exhibited phonologic and articulations problems that lowered speech intelligibility.
Neuropsychological assessment revealed cognitive problems. After speech-language rehabilitation treatment, he achieved
significant improvement in language function.
Learning outcomes: The reader will learn about (1) the distinctive clinical characteristics and (2) the speech-language abilities and
their development after speech-language therapy in Floating-Harbor syndrome

secondary to thyroidectomy. The study was conducted in a period of 4 years (from 2000 to
2004). 84 patients started logopedic treatment 2 months after the vocal fold paralysis and the other
8 after a period from 4 months to 2 years. The patients were submitted to logopedic treatment
for 3 month (3 sessions for week); 12 patients continued with therapy for others 2 months. At
the end of therapy 81 patient (88%) improved that they normalized their phonatory function; in
fact these patients showed an hyper-adduction of normal vocal fold (with compensation of air leak)
and a good tone of paralysed vocal fold with the aim of preventing its atrophy (through the action
of cricothyroid muscle)
