Alphabet Therapy: A Novel Way to Teach Children With Angelman Syndrome and Measure Their Academic Abilities

$31,300

Individuals with AS lack expressive speech and they have difficulty in understanding the structure and complexity of language. This grant provided funding for a project combining intensive behavioral analysis in combination with visual prompts of alphabet letters, numbers, colors and shapes. This project is one of several funded by ASF that affirms the ability of Angelman children to learn when afforded sufficient resources and targeted strategies of instruction.
