Prognosis
Adolescents and adults can function very well in group homes if their calorie intake is controlled and they get a structured schedule. Sometimes their personalities or tempers can make it difficult even with programs. They can get jobs through most sheltered workshops. Praders usually are chosen to oversee production because they usually need to finish things.
