  1. Kathleen Keen Said,

    Hello, We are in the process of testing a 4 year old that has this diagnosis for special education services. Is there any information you can provide regarding academic performance? He appears to have low cognitive skills plus very limited expressive language. He also has physical deformities and balance issues. This is a very interesting child. Any information would be helpful. (Warkany syndrome 2)
