Assessment and Skill Remediation of Hyperlexic Children.

Kistner, Janet; And Others

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v18 n2 p191-205 Jun 1988

Hyperlexic children have superior word recognition skills accompanied by delayed development of cognitive and language abilities. Assessment of four hyperlexic children (ages 5-9) confirmed their superior abilities to retain sound/symbol associations. Written prompts were then effectively used to increase functional speech in one of the subjects. (JW)
