| angelman syndrome occupational therapy: PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT BY COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY FOR ANGELMAN SYNDROME Edenilson Brandl, The journey of understanding and supporting individuals with Angelman Syndrome is both profound and complex. This book, Psychological Support by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Angelman Syndrome, aims to bridge the gap between the biological foundations of this unique genetic disorder and the psychological support necessary for individuals and their families to thrive. Angelman Syndrome is characterized by developmental delays, speech impairments, and distinctive behavioral traits, making it a challenge not only for those directly affected but also for their caregivers and loved ones. As our understanding of the genetic and neurological aspects of this condition expands, so too does the need for effective psychological interventions. This is where Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) plays a pivotal role. CBT is a well-established therapeutic approach that focuses on the interplay between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Its application to the unique challenges presented by Angelman Syndrome offers a pathway to enhance emotional regulation, improve coping strategies, and foster greater independence. This book delves into the principles of CBT, tailoring them to address the specific needs of individuals with Angelman Syndrome, while also considering the broader context of their familial and social environments. Throughout the chapters, we will explore various topics, including the biological underpinnings of Angelman Syndrome, the impact of trauma, and the intricacies of genetic and epigenetic influences. We will also delve into practical CBT tools and techniques that can empower individuals to navigate the complexities of their condition while promoting mental well-being. This book is intended for a diverse audience, including caregivers, healthcare professionals, educators, and individuals seeking to better understand the psychological aspects of living with Angelman Syndrome. It is our hope that the insights and strategies presented herein will serve as a valuable resource for fostering resilience, enhancing emotional health, and ultimately improving the quality of life for those affected by this condition. As we embark on this journey together, I invite you to explore the rich interplay between genetics, psychology, and therapeutic support, and to join me in advocating for a brighter future for individuals with Angelman Syndrome and their families. |

| angelman syndrome occupational therapy: What is Angelman syndrome(AS) /Happy Puppet Syndrome ? A Concise Overview., Dr.H.K.Saboowala., What is Angelman syndrome(AS) /Happy Puppet Syndrome ? A Concise Overview. Angelman syndrome (AS) is a rare neuro-genetic disorder that occurs in one in 15,000 live births or 500,000 people worldwide. It is named after British pediatrician Harry Angelman, who first described the syndrome in 1965. An older term, Happy Puppet Syndrome, is generally considered pejorative. It is caused by a loss of function of the UBE3A gene in the 15th chromosome derived from the mother. Angelman syndrome shares symptoms and characteristics with other disorders including autism, cerebral palsy etc. Due to the common characteristics, misdiagnosis occurs often. People with AS have developmental problems that become noticeable by the age of 6 – 12 months. Other common signs and symptoms usually appear in early childhood like walking and balance disorders, gastrointestinal issues, seizures and little to no speech. Despite these symptoms, people with Angelman syndrome have an overall happy and excitable demeanor. An individual with AS will light up a room with their smile and laughter. An attempt has been made in this Booklet to describe Etiology, History, Diagnosis, Differential Diagnosis, Management , Chromosome 15q deletion, etc. comprehensively along with plenty of relevant ILLUSTRATIONS and IMAGE GALLERY for better understanding this quaint but interesting Genetic entity. …Dr. H.

| angelman syndrome occupational therapy: Do Fathers Matter? Paul Raeburn, 2014-06-03 For too long, we've thought of fathers as little more than sources of authority and economic stability in the lives of their children. Yet cutting-edge studies drawing unexpected links between fathers and children are forcing us to reconsider our assumptions and ask new questions: What changes occur in men when they are expecting? Do fathers affect their children's language development? What are the risks and rewards of being an older-than-average father at the time the child is born? What happens to a father's hormone levels at every stage of his child's development, and can a child influence the father's health? Just how much do fathers matter? In Do Fathers Matter? the award-winning journalist and father of five Paul Raeburn overturns the many myths and stereotypes of fatherhood as he examines the latest scientific findings on the parent we've often overlooked. Drawing on research from neuroscientists, animal behaviorists, geneticists, and developmental psychologists, among others, Raeburn takes us through the various stages of fatherhood, revealing the profound physiological connections between children and fathers, from conception through adolescence and into adulthood—and the importance of the relationship between mothers and fathers. In the process, he challenges the legacy of Freud and mainstream views of parental attachment, and also explains how we can become better parents ourselves. Ultimately, Raeburn shows how the role of the father is distinctly different from that of the mother, and that embracing fathers' significance in the lives of young people is something we can all benefit from. An engrossing, eye-opening, and deeply personal book that makes a case for a new perspective on the importance of fathers in our lives no matter what our family structure, Do Fathers Matter? will change the way we view fatherhood today. |
