Schools for kids with Williams syndrome

Find the top private schools offering support for Williams syndrome

Williams syndrome is a rare genetic disorder present at birth. It is characterized by intellectual disabilities or learning problems, unique facial features, and cardiovascular problems.

Moreover, according the US National Library of Medicine, “people with Williams syndrome typically have difficulty with visual-spatial tasks such as drawing and assembling puzzles, but they tend to do well on tasks that involve spoken language, music, and learning repetition (rote memorization). Affected individuals have outgoing, engaging personalities, and tend to take an extreme interest in other people. Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), problems with anxiety, and phobias are common among people with this disorder.”

Below, we list private schools for kids with Williams syndrome. Some of these schools also provide support for other special needs, including developmental disabilities such as autism, Asperger’s, Down syndrome, and intellectual disabilities. Find a school for Williams syndrome near you.
