Advances in genetics and neuroscience have improved the diagnosis and life expectancy of individuals with genetic syndromes. However, their developmental, educational, psychosocial, and familial dimensions remain underrepresented in scholarly literature. Despite strong medical and neurobiological research, the translation of these findings into educational practice, family support, therapeutic interventions, and community inclusion remains limited, underscoring the need for more integrated, interdisciplinary approaches. Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Genetic Syndromes and Human Development addresses this gap by integrating biopsychosocial, ecological, and lifespan-oriented frameworks to examine how genetic syndromes shape learning, adaptation, inclusion, and well-being. The book foregrounds the lived experiences of individuals with genetic syndromes and their families, while highlighting interdisciplinary approaches that support inclusive, evidence-based practice. Covering topics such as developmental conditions, lifespan development, and quality of life, this book is a central academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, educators, therapists, genetic counselors, caregivers, NGOs, policy makers, and more.
