- 요약Rett syndrome (RTT) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder occurring primarily in females. The hallmark course of development of RTT is a period of typical development in infancy followed by a marked period of regression leading to the loss of motor skills and spoken language. This regression, along with multi-system comorbidities, makes communication challenging for people with RTT. Existing experimental research involving people with RTT reports that many are at the pre-symbolic and pre-intentional levels, displaying behaviors that are often considered non-communicative. In contrast, surveys from parents and professionals who work closely with people with RTT suggest more complex uses of expressive language including the use of aided augmentative and alternative communication to engage in symbolic communication. Further, the literacy abilities of people with RTT have largely been unexplored and literacy rates are projected to be low across the population. The purpose of this study was to investigate the preferences of people with RTT around modes of expressive communication, reading, and writing activities using a multiple case study. Results of Talking Mats interviews, direct observations of the participations, field notes, and detailed case histories revealed that the participants have clear preferences and self-perceptions about expressive communication and literacy. Convergent themes across the three participants included adaptable multimodal communication, incongruent views of communication and literacy abilities, and resilience. Within the three cases, themes reflecting unique communication abilities were revealed. This work has implications for clinical decisions for speech-language pathologists and educators who provide language and literacy interventions for people with RTT. It also has implications for the ongoing use of Talking Mats to explore preferences related to various topics in research and practice. Future research directions include more inclusive research practices with people with RTT, including involvement in formal member checking sessions.
