Children with Joubert Syndrome & Related Cerebellar
Disorders frequently have motor delays and processing
disorders which affect their ability to react and relate
to their environment. Research suggests some of these
delays are the result of anomalies in the cerebellum
particularly the lack of vermis. This results in changes
with muscle tone, effects on balance, and difficulties
in processing sensory information. These combinations
have a global effect influencing gross motor, fine
motor, perceptual motor, self care, and daily living
skills.
