About This Topic

Children, adolescents, and young adults with rare genetic syndromes (e.g., Angelman, Down, Cornelia de Lange, Fragile X, Rett, and Williams syndromes) may experience significant problems while dealing with everyday life requests. Beside intellectual disabilities, communication disorders, motor impairments, and/or sensorial deficits may be included. An early diagnosis can be considered critical. Rehabilitative programs can be addressed accordingly.

This special issue will consider any type of paper (e.g., systematic reviews, scoping reviews, meta-analysis, empirical studies, randomized controlled trials, between groups comparisons, single-subject experimental studies, case-reports, and/or protocol studies) having individuals diagnosed with a rare genetic syndrome with both assessment and rehabilitative purposes as a basic target. Although technology-based interventions are privileged (i.e., assistive technology, new technologies as augmented and/or virtual reality setups, artificial intelligence settings, serious games, mobile and/or wearable technologies, telerehabilitation), any approaches (e.g., pharmacological or non-pharmacological, with behavioral and/or cognitive-behavioral therapies) are sought.
