Life with WS



There’s no specific life expectancy. Some people are “alive and well” in their sixties. The disorder is incurable, a lifetime ordeal. However, physical therapy may help to make the person with WS  more comfortable.  Physical therapy will help for the bones of the individual to stay loose instead of stressed, and  it will help to keep their bones growing. By carefully monitoring blood levels, it becomes easier to avoid further heart and artery problems. Since most with Williams Syndrome struggle with hearing and seeing to the full capacity, therapy in this area helps also.
