Dr. Christy Zigler - Measuring communication in neurodevelopmental disorders
Update: 2023-12-22
Description
Kate sits down with Dr. Zigler, Associate Professor at Duke University, to discuss her efforts to more accurately capture communication in Phelan-McDermid syndrome and other neurodevelopmental disorders. The goal is to have a clinical assessment that better measures communication progress - for families, and for clinical studies and trials. With funding from the FDA, Dr. Zigler is adapting a current communication measure, the ORCA. Kate asks what the ORCA is, why it is being adapted, what's been done so far, and how families can play a role.
