Some genetic disorders include:

• Downs Syndrome
  
• Fragile X syndrome (also known as Martin–Bell syndrome)

• Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy)
• Cri du chat syndrome (also known as chromosome 5p deletion syndrome)
• CDKL5 (sometimes associated with Rett syndrome)
• Down syndrome (DS)
• Linear nevus sebaceous syndrome
• Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)

Challenges of genetic disorders

Receiving a diagnosis of genetic disorder can be scary and uncertain. At times parents are told there is not much that can be done. There may be a wide range of challenges in terms of physical/cognitive/emotional development and learning. Often times "traditional" therapies focus on the limitation and try to get a child to do what he or she cannot.
