Abstract

Congenital Zika virus syndrome (CZVS) poses significant challenges to the development of communication abilities in affected children. This abstract provides a succinct overview of the evolution of communication skills in this population. Children with CZVS commonly experience delays and deficits in speech and language development, alongside challenges in social communication. Early intervention, often involving a multidisciplinary team, plays a crucial role in addressing these difficulties. Speech and language therapy (SLT) interventions, tailored to individual needs, are pivotal in promoting progress in communication skills. Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) strategies offer additional support for those with severe impairments. Family-centered care, encompassing education and psychosocial support, is essential for fostering a supportive environment. By understanding the complexities of communication abilities evolution in children with CZVS and employing comprehensive interventions, healthcare professionals can optimize outcomes and enhance the quality of life for these individuals and their families.
