Rett syndrome, a rare genetic disease caused by mutations of the
MECP2 gene, includes severe to profound developmental impairments.
Communicative, intellectual, and motor disabilities are usually
embedded. Children with Rett syndrome are individuals with multiple
difficulties. Caregivers, families and professionals face to
serious daily challenges due to clinical conditions determined by
Rett syndrome. Accordingly, traditional interventions may not be
adequate. Customized programs based on cognitive-behavioral
approaches and assistive technology setups are highly warranted.
The current book includes the newest empirical contributions to
tackle functional consequences of Rett syndrome. Sleep and pain
disorders were targeted in Chapter One. A cross-disciplinary
investigation to enhance active participation and constructive
engagement of children with Rett syndrome was detailed in Chapter
Two. The importance of functional activities was emphasized in
Chapter Three. Communication guidelines to support communication
skills of individuals with Rett syndrome were critically discussed
in Chapter Four. The relevance of music and music therapy to
promote positive participation was argued in Chapter Five. A
selective review on the use of assistive technology-based programs
in individuals with Rett syndrome was provided in Chapter Six. A
case report to help locomotion fluency of an adolescent with Rett
syndrome through the use of microswitches and contingent positive
stimulation was presented in Chapter Seven. The book was supported
by illustrative examples described by the chapters' contributors
and their professional experience. Readers may find helpful
insights within each edited chapter. Caregivers, families, and
professionals may have a practical guide to everyday settings and
environments or contexts. Clarity and readability for a large
audience are undoubtedly strengths and advantages of the current
volume. Although technical terminology was used throughout, both
future research and practice can widely find meaningful tips and
tangible suggestions to tackle daily barriers and/or obstacles in
individuals with Rett syndrome and severe to profound developmental
delays.
