"...this handbook was written to share the knowledge and wisdom of parents and of professionals who work with our children and have faith in them. Underlying these pages is the firm belief that children with Wiiliams syndrome are far more like other children than not. Whatever his or her strength or weaknesses, your child needs what other children need - play and fun, goals and expectations, friends and love." - PREFACE
