For a subset of children referred to neurology clinic, pediatric neurologists completed the medical part of an autism evaluation and Knights of Columbus Developmental Center psychologists or speech-language pathologists completed developmental assessments. Forty-four autism diagnostic evaluations completed through this coordinated pathway over the course of six months had shortened wait time [mean=50.89 days; range 3 to 184 days; median= 48.50 day].

Beyond the primary care needs of all children and adults, the unique medical concerns and management needs of those with PWS are best served in a multidisciplinary academic center. Our PWS center has provided care for individuals with PWS and their families since 1981. Our growth hormone studies contributed to growth hormone supplementation becoming standard of care in this country. Here, in collaboration with the primary care provider, early childhood intervention programs, schools and local parent organizations, solid, patient-centered care for affected individuals and their families can be provided across the life-span. The purpose of this article is to provide a brief overview of PWS and the attendant medical and behavior management challenges attendant to the disorder.</p>","PeriodicalId":74203,"journal":{"name":"Missouri medicine","volume":"121 3","pages":"235-241"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11160371/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141297806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
