LMBBS - child at school

The LMBBS Child At School

This publication explains what a teacher of a child with LMBB Syndrome should know. It has been written particularly for teachers and others in the education field who may come across a child with the Syndrome. No one is an authority on this rare syndrome and each child is an individual but there are several shared characteristics which may have a significant effect upon the child's ability to learn, on his/her behaviour or on his/her relationships. If the teacher is aware of the nature of the condition, then he/she is better able to help the child develop skills to his/her maximum potential. The topics addressed in the context of educating the child with LMBB Syndrome are:

  • Rod-Cone Dystrophy
  • Obesity
  • Polydactyly
  • Hypogonadism
  • Kidney Abnormalities
  • Neurological Abnormalities
  • Developmental Delay
  • Speech and Co-ordination Problems
