The aim of this article is to provide specific information about Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome (RTS) to those who may be interested. This syndrome is rare and has not been well researched. This article contains information about the physical, cognitive, and developmental differences ofa child with RTS. There are also recommendations for working with children who have RTS.  \nOver one billion people in the world are living with some form of a disability that impacts their quality of life (Cooc, 2019) . Addressing and supporting physical, mental, intellectual, and sensory impairments can be a challenging task. Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) is a rare syndrome that is not well known. Individuals with RTS have well-defined physical features, motor development delays, common behavioural traits, and varying degrees of intellectual disability (López et al. , 2018) . Gaining a better understanding of this syndrome will improve educators’ self-efficacy and allow them to provide support to individuals with RTS.  \nRTS is not well researched, and many individuals are unfamiliar with it. The lack of knowledge would make it very difficult for educators to support a child with RTS; therefore, it is important to gain a better understanding of the syndrome. There are specific physical characteristics, motor abilities, behavioural characteristics, and cognitive abilities that educators should be aware of. RTS occurs with one in every 100 000 to 125 000 children (Milani et al. , 2015) . There is less than a 1% chance that families will have a second child with RTS (Stevens, 1997) . Two possible gene mutations are known to cause RTS (Cazalets et al. , 2017) . Over half of the RTS cases are caused by a mutation on the CREBBP gene (“Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome,” 2019) . The other gene mutation known to cause RTS is the EP300 gene, which accounts for approximately 8% of cases (“Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome,” 2019) . The remainder of RTS cases are caused by unknown factors (“Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome,” 2019) . This syndrome can be diagnosed after birth with genetic testing, but the majority of cases are confirmed by the physical features of individuals with RTS (Milani et al. , 2015) .  \nIndividuals diagnosed with RTS have very distinct physical features. A couple of distinctive features are their broad angulated thumbs and enlarged toes (López et al. , 2018) . Broad nasal bridge, slanted eyes, and high arched eyebrows are some other prominent physical characteristics (Waite et al. , 2015) . Based on these physical differences, individuals are often diagnosed at birth or in their early stages of life (López et al. , 2018) . Height, weight, and head circumference are often normal in the prenatal stages, but are in a very low percentile during infancy and the early stages of life (Sescleifer & Stevens, 2018) . Those with RTS will face a large range of medical issues, and individuals will have their own sets of obstacles to overcome. Most individuals will have some form of feeding difficulty, including reflux and vomiting (Roome & Ade, 2013) . RTS is not something that is curable, but having an understanding of the syndrome will help those involved with these individuals to be supportive. Beyond obvious physical characteristics, children with RTS have delayed motor development.  \nMotor development delays are common for most individuals with RTS, due to low muscle tone (Char et al. , 2019) . For instance, an average time for those with RTS to begin walking is two and a half years of age (Edens Hurst, 2017) . These individuals are often considered clumsy and they deal with poor coordination throughout their lives (Cazalets et al. , 2017) . Interestingly, motor difficulties are closely intertwined with cognitive development (Cazalets et al. , 2017) .  \nMotor problems were","cbCaiqGlgzmpTeD0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqGlgzmpTeD0","pdf",106979,"English","# Abstract\n## Overview of RTS and why educators need knowledge\n## Physical characteristics and diagnosis\n## Medical and feeding challenges\n## Motor development delays and therapies\n## Behavioral and cognitive traits\n## Educational recommendations","[{\"question\":\"Why should educators learn about Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome (RTS)?\",\"answer\":\"Because RTS is rare and not well researched, many educators may be unfamiliar with it.
