"Strategies to Address Emotional and Behavioral Challenges in Smith-Magenis Syndrome (SMS)"
Approaches to understanding emotional and behavioral challenges in Smith-Magenis Syndrome (SMS) vary but should begin with an awareness of traits commonly observed among individuals with SMS. Educators, clinicians, and others who work with children and adults with SMS often find them to be energetic, enthusiastic, and endearing. Although strengths exist, individuals with SMS also commonly demonstrate significant challenges with emotional and behavioral dysregulation across the lifespan, which can often pose difficulties for individuals with SMS, their families, professionals, and community members who interact with them.
PRISMS is pleased to provide guidelines called “Strategies to Address Emotional and Behavioral Challenges in Smith-Magenis Syndrome (SMS)” that offer recommendations for parents and those caring for individuals with SMS to approach emotional and behavioral challenges by understanding the person, the syndrome, and effective practices.
