Synopsis

Rett Syndrome is a severe neurological disorder whose cause is currently unknown. It leads to a variety of problems, often involving retardation, serious motor handicaps, epileptic seizures and difficulties with communication. The syndrome is found only in girls, and usually only becomes noticable during the second year of life. The disorder is estimated to occur in one out of every 10,000 female births worldwide, but as the characteristics of the problem are becoming more widely known, new cases are being reported at an increasing rate. This work on Rett Syndrome attempts to explain the problem and the implications for the individuals involved, their parents, teachers and those who work with them. As no cure is available yet, medical science has little to offer in the way of help to the families involved. This book provides practical insights and techniques for those working with this problem.
