Apparent location: Australia

I am special needs teacher.  In my class I have two students (7/11 years old) who have medical conditions/learning disabilities associated with a chromosome 8p+ disorder.  I have been informed that the students are 2 of only 10
identified cases anywhere in the world with this condition.  I don't know anything about the precise clinical details - the students are  undergoing medical examination at present to establish more details.

I am interested to learn anything about chromosome 8p+ disorders  - potential long term intellectual development, life expectancy, existing educational programmes, literally anything.
