back     Keeping Control - children and adults in the UK with Lowe Syndrome  

Lowe Syndrome Children have "challenging behaviour" that means that they frequently need to be handled, normally in a playful manner, to prevent them from mischief.

Anyone in contact with lowe chidren (Parents, carers, teachers etc) need to be aware of UK laws on what is acceptable contact and on physical restraint.
