Description
The purpose of this research was to learn about the qualitative research process and the selective language skills of an individual with Moebius Syndrome. After IRB approval, an audio-taped interview with the individual was conducted. With this data, I was able to look at factors that affected the individual’s language skills such as environment, physical characteristics of Moebius Syndrome, and therapy received. Codes and subcodes were used to organize the information obtained in the interview and with these, six main patterns were extracted. These patterns and the data analysis allowed for an assertion to be made regarding the individual’s experience growing up with Moebius Syndrome.
