Abstract
Behavioral Interventions for Enhancing Adaptive Skills of Children with Angelman Syndrome
Highlights
Individuals with Angelman syndrome (AS) typically exhibit hyperactivity disorders and restless behaviors, hypotonia, microcephaly, wide gait, abnormalities in EEG patterns, widely spaced teeth, hypo-pigmentation, prominent chin and deep set eyes
In light of the above, one may argue that children with AS may be quite passive and isolated towards their environment with negative outcomes on their quality of life
The results showed that the majority of the registered participants were children, most of them (i.e., 76%) reported a chromosome deletion, with a minority reporting a mutation or an imprinting defect (i.e., 20%)
Summary
Individuals with AS typically exhibit hyperactivity disorders and restless behaviors, hypotonia, microcephaly, wide gait, abnormalities in EEG patterns, widely spaced teeth, hypo-pigmentation (i.e., blond hair and light eyes), prominent chin and deep set eyes. Three of his patients showed severe to profound intellectual disabilities, excessive laughing, jerky movements, and abnormal physical development. Searching with behavioral interventions and AS, four reviews and twelve articles were detected in the last five years [10-24].
