Abstract
A series of tables is presented as a diagnostic aid for the clinician when presented with a client who has a genetic syndrome. Information is provided on physical features, inheritance pattern, incidence rate, speech and language characteristics, and references. The speech and language clinician is cautioned that there is great variation of expression in genetic syndromes. However, the tables can be used to find those characteristics identified in the literature as manifested in a particular genetic syndrome.
