Systematic Review of Intervention Programs Designed to Improve the Socioemotional Skills of Children and Adolescents With Prader-Willi Syndrome.

Abstract

The present study is a systematic review of intervention programs designed to improve the socioemotional skills of children and adolescents with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). The search was conducted in the Web of Science and Pubmed databases following the PRISMA guidelines. A total of six studies made up the final sample and were organized based on the following psychological domains: social cognition and emotional competence. The findings suggest that these learning models may contribute to the development of socioemotional skills in children and adolescents with PWS. In addition, it appears that remote intervention through telehealth may be effective as a treatment option.
