Dear Aliyah, and INFO-CHILDES,

I'm not at all an expert on Landau-Kleffner but wanted to alert you
and other readers to two excellent sources for information on
virtually all disorders.

For a general, readable overview of almost any disorder, you can
consult The Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man website:
http://www3.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Omim/dispmim?245570

To get an up-to-minute list of scientific articles, you can search
the PubMed database. For example, a quick search through PubMed for
the term Landau-Kleffner reveals 220 articles, many quite recent:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov:80/entrez/query.fcgi?db=PubMed.

And then there's google.com.....
