Description
This project took an in-depth look at individuals with Aspergers Syndrome (AS). Specific areas of research included language impairment/delay. In addition to researching the background and typical characteristics of AS the project focused heavily on the speech and language aspects associated with the syndrome. This project was completed using qualitative inquiry with a specific case study. The parent of an individual with AS was interviewed. The findings were coded and analyzed to determine underlying patterns and themes. Final assertions were made summarizing the data. This process aided the researcher in understanding the experience(s) of a family with an individual member diagnosed with AS.
