Understanding Rett Syndrome: A practical guide for parents, teachers, and therapists

Abstract

The brand new edition of this unique book describes the difficulties and challenges of girls and women with Rett Syndrome, and proposes solutions that can help them in everyday life. Written from an educational perspective, and based on extensive practical, real-life experience, it also takes into consideration living conditions as a whole to provide practical and effective help for all those involved in the care of those with Rett Syndrome. In this new edition, the chapters on intelligence and understanding, learning and communication have been elucidated and deepened. There are also some new sections on digital pictures, computers, and sensory environments. Understanding Rett Syndrome is primarily intended for people close to those with Rett syndrome, including teachers, therapists, and parents, but should be valuable to anyone involved with children with mental and functional disorders.
