Intelligence and (social) development

All children with MSS have a serious intellectual disability. That is why most children will have limited speech or will never learn how to speak at all. They might never be toilet trained. Because this requires extra care, adapted day-care or schools are necessary. Some children go to day-care from their parental homes, others from a surrogate family unit with specialized care. As adults, most people with MSS live in an institution for people with intellectual disabilities.
