Prader-Willi Syndrome

[SLP]

Any suggestions for working with children with Prader-Willi syndrome?

I have a child with the diagnosis, and I'm struggling with it. She doesn't have the same behavior problems that the other children have, but she gets off task very easily. That's why I try to do small group work a lot, so that I know she is constantly being redirected. I'm lucky to have a speech therapist and OT working very closely with her. They want us to create a notebook with pictures for her to point at, teach her some sign language words, do activities to increase her fine motor skills and model correct verbal responses. As I learn more I will post the information.
