Williams Syndrome: New UD Study May Shed Light On Rare Genetic Disorder-And Normal Development

understand what parts of language go uncompromised in Williams Syndrome. Such research could lead to a better understanding of how to educate people who have the syndrome.

Forty-five families who have children with Williams Syndrome, ages 7-14, responded to a letter Landau sent asking for volunteers. Names were provided by the Williams Syndrome Association in Connecticut.

Landau says the work is still in the preliminary stages, and will likely continue over a period of years.
