Addressing the Challenge: Developmental Support for Angelman Children
Understanding the needs of a child with the Syndrome Angelman can be a complicated path. But, at Avanza Gabinete Psicopedagógico, we are here to provide guidance and help.
Syndrome Angelman: Unravelling the Mystery
He Syndrome Angelman syndrome (AS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system. Symptoms include developmental problems, movement and balance problems, and unique behaviours and personality.
Our Approach: Personalised Support
Intervention plans must be as unique as the children they serve. Our developmental support for children with Angelman focuses on addressing their specific needs. As a result, we create programmes tailored to each child.
Pillars of Development: Speech Therapy and Psychomotricity
Many children with AS experience neonatal dysphagia, or swallowing problems. Counselling from our breastfeeding experts can help manage this challenge, while speech therapy can address the dyslalias, or difficulties in pronunciation.
Psychopedagogy: The Road to Learning
Educational psychology support can be a valuable tool for children with AS. We address learning difficulties in a playful way. In this way we promote confidence and self-efficacy in our children.
Special Needs, Special Solutions
Sometimes, we can see other disorders in the same person with AS such as the Syndrome Tourette's or Syndrome of Williams. That's why we need to formulate a comprehensive strategy.
Overcoming the Cleft Palate
Some children with AS may have cleft palate, a separation in the roof of the mouth. This type of situation is also addressed in our clinic with speech therapy and nutritional counselling.
Occupational Therapy: Boosting Independence
From dressing to interacting with others, occupational therapy can help children with AS acquire daily living skills. It is essential to consider these aspects to support their holistic development.
AphasiasBreaking Barriers
Many children with AS may face aphasias, which affect the ability to speak and understand language. Our specialists seek to help these children find new ways to express themselves.
A Journey of Resilience and Empowerment
Every small step counts. At Avanza Gabinete Psicopedagógico, we understand that challenges are part of the journey. We support children and their families on this journey, advising them, guiding them, but above all, believing in their ability to move forward.
Supporting the development of Angelman children can be challenging, but it is not impossible. Together, we can help these children reach their full potential.
