Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is associated with an assortment of physical, behavioral and cognitive abnormalities that create a broad range of interdisciplinary care needs. Joyce Whittington and Tony Holland identify and integrate the latest findings on managing the complex medical, nutritional, psychological, educational, social and therapeutic needs of people with PWS. Both have been involved in the Cambridge PWS study--the largest of the cohort studies of PWS--which provides the basis of this book.
