The Social Worker’s Role in Helping Williams Syndrome Children Integrate Socially by Addressing Behavioral Patterns

Abstract

: This study explores the role of social workers in helping Williams Syndrome children integrate socially by addressing their behavioral patterns. Using a descriptive analytical approach, the study surveyed a random sample of social workers in children's rehabilitation centers in the United Arab Emirates. Results revealed that Williams Syndrome children exhibit childlike temperament, dependence on strangers, anxiety, ADHD, and difficulty in understanding social cues. The study emphasizes the social worker's role in facilitating positive interactions through group activities, enhancing communication skills, providing appropriate education, and educating families on how to deal with the child.
