Williams Syndrome

Williams Syndrome is a rare genetic condition that causes medical and developmental problems such as kidney, heart, blood vessel and musculosketal abnormalities.  Williams Syndrome children are small with "elfin" facial features.  They tend to be over active with a very limited attention span.  Although many of these children develop good verbal and articulation skills by kindergarten, their speech is more like incessant chatter that is unsupported by their non-verbal abilities.
