General diet: See: http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pmc/articles/pmc2670819/ for a good review of jacobsen syndrome. No special diet is mentioned. This is a challenging situation and you need to ask the specialist about this. I would ensure food is well chopped up so it goes down smoothly. Might need a swallowing eval. The answer to your question is best determined by a thorough evaluation by your physician.

No restrictions: I have identified only one child with 11q terminal deletion syndrome ( in 36 years), but it was recently. I double-checked, because i didn't remember any dietary restrictions. Feed him whatever any child of his developmental age could eat. I hope you have been able to access all needed specialists - cardiology, hematology, ophthalmology, ortho, db pedes, genetics, as well as special education.
