Assistive Technology for Promoting Adaptive Behaviors by Children with Rett Syndrome
Journal Title: International Journal of Psychology and Psychoanalysis - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Rett syndrome (RS) is a progressive neuro-developmental disorder due to mutations of methyl CpG binding protein 2 gene (MECP2), located on Xq28 chromosome, primarily occurring in females and first described by Andreas Rett. It is characterized by four main stages, namely: (a) stagnation, (b) regression, (c) stationary, and (d) deterioration. During the first stage, occurring with an early onset and beginning between 6 and 18 months of age, the child development is overall arrested.
