Nearly all children with 5p-Syndrome have poor muscle tone when they are young. Other
characteristics may include feeding difficulties, delays in walking, hyperactivity, scoliosis and
significant developmental delays. A small number of children are born with serious organ
defects and other life threatening medical conditions, although most individuals with 5p- can
anticipate a normal life expectancy. With early and consistent educational intervention, as
well as physical and language therapy, children with 5p-Syndrome are capable of reaching
their fullest potential and can lead full and meaningful lives. Children born with this very
rare genetic defect will most likely require ongoing support for life, from a team of parents,
therapists, medical and educational professionals to help the child achieve his or her
maximum potential.
COLOR FOR A CAUSE 5K COLOR RUN
The Katy community is invited to support Cinco Ranch Future Business Leaders of America as

rebuild their facility that was destroyed during Hurricane Harvey. The Arc works to create
opportunities for all children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities
(IDD) to enable each person to be a participating and respected member of our community.
The run will take place at Cinco Ranch High School on Saturday, April 21, 2018 from 8 AM to
