ABSTRACT
Agenesis of the corpus callosum (AgCC) is a rare congenital condition often linked to diverse neurodevelopmental impairments, particularly affecting communication abilities. This case study presents the detailed assessment and intervention approach for a 3-year-old girl with complete ACC, emphasizing the speech, language, and motor delays identified through standardized tools such as the Receptive-Expressive Emergent Language Scale (REELS) and Communication DEALL (COM-DEALL) checklist. The study underscores the role of early, multidisciplinary intervention in improving developmental outcomes in children with AgCC.
Key words: speech and language development, REELS, developmental milestones, agenesis of corpus callosum.
