Protocol - Family History of Speech and Language Impairment

Description

The Family History Questionnaire is a 9-item proxy-administered questionnaire completed by a parent for their young child. It asks about the child's personal and family history of speech and language impairment.

Specific Instructions

Rosa's Law, enacted in October 2010, changes references in federal laws and acts from "mental retardation" to "intellectual disability," and references to a "mentally retarded individual" to "an individual with an intellectual disability." The PhenX Working Group notes that this protocol was developed and tested using previously accepted terminology. Replacing this terminology with the newly enacted standard is at the researcher's discretion.

The Expert Review Panel recommends that items 11 through 21 (hereditary factors) of the Personal and Family History of Hearing Loss protocol are added to this protocol.
