Abnormal sleep patterns with delayed acquisition of sleeping through the night may be associated with the colic. Dental abnormalities Slightly small, widely spaced teeth are common in children with Williams syndrome. Most of these dental changes are readily amenable to orthodontic correction. This condition often improves with age. Musculoskeletal problems Young children with Williams syndrome often have low muscle tone and joint laxity.
Physical therapy is very helpful in improving muscle tone, strength and joint range of motion.
Individuals with Williams syndrome have a very endearing personality. They have a unique strength in their expressive language skills, and are extremely polite. They are typically unafraid of strangers and show a greater interest in contact with adults than with their peers. Developmental delay, learning disabilities and attention deficit Most people with Williams syndrome have some degree of intellectual handicap. Distractibility is a common problem in mid-childhood, which appears to get better as the children get older.
