Here we present one child with W-B syndrome who underwent early intervention since she was 7 months old. After 20-month training, the child has made impressive progress in motor function and abilities of carrying ADL. Furthermore, by giving the parents instructions and guidelines for home programs, the relationship between the child and her parents also improved a lot. As the matter of fact, this casereport showed that the early intervention on child with W-B syndrome would benefit in motor function, independence of daily life, good interaction of child and parents and social performance.
