Brief Answer:
Joubert syndome doesn't affect appetite control!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank so much for contacting healthcare magic.

Appetite control is not affected in children with Joubert's syndrome. Unless his weight becomes an issue, children often eat much so as to compensate for the relative high energy expenditure.

I wish you well as you continuing caring for her.
