Genetic Syndromes of Mental Retardation: Should They Matter for the Early Interventionist?
Hodapp, Robert M.; DesJardin, Jean L.; Ricci, Leila A.
Infants and Young Children, v16 n2 p152-60 Apr-Jun 2003
This article examines the clinical aspects of etiology-related behaviors in young children with genetic mental retardation syndromes. Discussion of the concept of behavioral phenotype leads to consideration of how interventionists can best provide more focused and more effective interventions for children with different genetic disorders and diverse profiles of strengths and weaknesses.
