Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome is a genetic condition marked by intellectual disability, developmental delays, distinctive physical features such as broad thumbs and toes, and often a notably social, affectionate nature. Support that builds on each person’s strengths while meeting their challenges makes a lasting difference. New York’s OPWDD system funds that kind of care, and Advantage Home Care helps NYC families access it.
Consider a 14-year-old in Brooklyn with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome. He’s sociable and eager to be part of everything, but he struggles with academics and daily-living skills, and his parents worry about his path to independence. Through OPWDD, he works with a community habilitation aide on daily-living and social skills, and attends day habilitation where his warmth makes him a favorite. He grows more capable and confident, and his family gains a partner in planning his future. That’s what these OPWDD services are designed to do.
