Description
Moebius Syndrome is a rare and congenital condition not widely known to the Speech Language Pathology profession. A diligent study of Moebius Syndrome revealed backgroimd information, signs and symptoms, and speech and language difficulties. The research aspect of this project was accentuated through a thorough interview of two parents of a child with Moebius Syniome. The lack of documented sources prompted the researcher of this study to utilize a qualitative research design. According to David Lancy (1993), "the qualitative paradigm is ideal for phenomena that are patently complex and about which little is known with certainty" ^.9). The interview process laid the groundwork for distinct codes, patterns, and assertions which were displayed. This project familiarized others about an unfamiliar condition.
