Abstract:

This study aims at presenting the neuro-behavioral profile in four genetic syndromes which have as a common characteristic a certain type of mental deficiency: Williams syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, X-Fragile syndrome, and Down syndrome. Each of these syndromes will be described in terms of cognitive and lingvistic profiles, behavioral profile and specific problems. Finally, we will analyse an intervention approach based on etiology.

Keywords: neuro-behavioral profiles, genetic syndromes, mental deficiency, etiology-based approaches
