About the Book

Since 1980, the "mystique" of Williams Syndrome has captured the interest of large numbers of scientists and attracted considerable media attention. Those diagnosed with WS display a unique pattern of behavioural, cognitive and emotional limitations and strengths with fascinating neurogenetic implications - a pattern that poses enormous challenges to their parents, teachers, clinicians and others. This book is a comprehensive synthesis of the expanding knowledge of WS. It integrates scattered research findings, clinical observations, and personal accounts and offers a wide range of effective interventions to maximise the potential of WS sufferers.

Table of Contents:
Contents: U. Bellugi, Foreword. Preface. Introduction. Language Skills and Problems. Intervention Approaches for Language Problems. Perceptual and Motor Performance. Specific Aptitudes. Maladaptive Behaviors. Intervention Approaches for Maladaptive Behaviors. Summary and Conclusions.

Review :
"[The book] offers a valuable illustration of the way in which treatment and intervention depend on a solid foundation of basic science....Overall, [it] represents an important contribution, both as a sourcebook and as a confirmation of the importance of parallel and interacting programmes of basic science and intervention." —Williams Syndrome Foundation UK Magazine "In Understanding Williams Syndrome, Eleanor Semel and Sue Rosner provide a fascinating overview on how [this] disorder has fared as a test of direct genotype-phenotype links....the book...plays a crucial role in relating research to intervention....The reader is left with a sense of encouragement that with this growing body of (sometimes very practically informed) knowledge, the prospects for individuals with the disorder to lead fulfilling lives are increasingly bright." —Cortex "Highly readable and well organized, the book offers a wealth of information on the behavioral patterns of individuals with WS in four major areas: language, perceptual-motor functioning, specific aptitudes, and behavioral problems....Semel and Rosner succeed in making their book useful as well as informative....educational and clinical guidelines are integrated into a broader framework, which provides a general intervention approach to education and treatment of persons with WS....Besides its significant contribution to the research on WS, the book exemplifies the value of the study of atypical populations to the study of language." —Language in Society "...the first comprehensive source book on the behavioral patterns of individuals with Williams syndrome. Not only does it summarize and analyze the research literature, it...provides problem-specific interventions, general guidelines for addressing problems...and innovative techniques for developing the potential of many individuals with Williams syndrome....combining research findings with real-life examples, clinical observations, and anecdotal reports...[it] goes beyond generalities by describing variation among individuals with the syndrome...as well as subgroups...[The authors]...are the ideal people to pull these strands together, both with respect to research and to intervention..." —Ursula Bellugi Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory, The Salk Institute; From the Foreword
