Kabuki syndrome is a genetic condition marked by distinctive facial features, intellectual disability that is often mild to moderate, developmental delays, low muscle tone, and sometimes heart or other medical needs β alongside a personality families often describe as affectionate and sociable. Support that builds on those strengths makes a real difference. New York’s OPWDD system funds that kind of care, and Advantage Home Care helps NYC families access it.
Consider a 10-year-old in Queens with Kabuki syndrome. She’s cheerful and eager to connect, but she struggles with learning, coordination, and some daily-living skills, and her parents want to help her build independence. Through OPWDD, she works with a community habilitation aide on daily-living and social skills, and attends day habilitation where she thrives among friends. She grows more capable and confident, and her family gains a partner in planning ahead. That’s what these OPWDD services are designed to do.
