MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

The 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome, also known as Velo Cardio Facial Syndrome and DiGeorge Syndrome, is relatively new. The genetic test to determine if a child has it has only been available since 1994. Educating Children with the 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome, Velo Cardio Facial Syndrome and DiGeorge, Third Edition, effectively blends the thoughtful research that has transpired within the past 25 years with practical and current educational strategies to better meet the needs of children with the 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome and other developmental disabilities. With its expanded content, as well as new contributions from some of the most highly regarded experts in the field, Educating Children with 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome, Velo Cardio Facial Syndrome and DiGeorge Third Edition is an essential resource for teachers, parents, physicians, and therapists of children with this complicated learning profile.
