Abstract
⺠The emergence of first gestures in girls with RTT is not necessarily delayed. ⺠The repertoire of communicative gestures, however, is restricted. ⺠Although girls with RTT have difficulties in their verbal communicative domain, gestures do not constitute a compensatory mechanism. ⺠A limited repertoire of gestures and qualitative peculiarities in other speech-language domains might be characteristic for a severe neurodevelopmental disorder like RTT.
