“…Particularly, research on behavioral interventions targeting this population is scarce (Kuriakose, Lang, Boyer, Lee, & Lancioni, 2012). The subject of this case study is a 26-year-old man who had long regained his language abilities, but continued to suffer from predominant behavioral and cognitive difficulties.…”

“…Few studies exist that examine treatment of "residual symptoms," or secondary symptoms that may be acquired subsequent to the absence of language during early development (e.g., social skills deficits). Particularly, research on behavioral interventions targeting this population is scarce (Kuriakose, Lang, Boyer, Lee, & Lancioni, 2012). The subject of this case study is a 26-year-old man who had long regained his language abilities, but continued to suffer from predominant behavioral and cognitive difficulties.…”

We present the differential diagnosis and treatment of Frank, a 26-year-old man with LandauKleffner syndrome (LKS). At the time of assessment, Frank was no longer suffering from primary symptoms of LKS; however, he presented with significant social and behavioral difficulties including social anxiety and social skills deficits. Frank participated in Social Effectiveness Therapy (SET), an empirically supported, multi-component behavioral treatment program aimed at reducing social anxiety and improving social functioning. Although Frank exhibited significant reductions in social anxiety at post-treatment, functional behavioral assessment of social behavior suggested that Frank continued to experience social difficulties (e.g., speech length, latency to respond, rigidity in interactions). It appears that the application of an empirically supported treatment such as SET may result in attenuated treatment effects when social anxiety is secondary to a neurological condition such as LKS. Treatment needs for secondary symptoms of LKS are discussed.

Simplified Signs presents a system of manual sign communication intended for special populations who have had limited success mastering spoken or full sign languages. It is the culmination of over twenty years of research and development by the authors. The Simplified Sign System has been developed and tested for ease of sign comprehension, memorization, and formation by limiting the complexity of the motor skills required to form each sign, and by ensuring that each sign visually resembles the meaning it conveys. Volume 1 outlines the research underpinning and informing the project, and places the Simplified Sign System in a wider context of sign usage, historically and by different populations.
