This research project was one of the earliest extensive surveys of behavioral traits in AS and was funded and enabled by the Angelman Syndrome Foundation (ASF) because of ASF’s affiliation with so many families within and outside of the United States. Data from this questionnaire, and further follow-up studies by the investigator, subsequently led to several crucial papers. These publications showed that individuals with AS have abnormalities in sensory processing and therapeutic intervention was discussed.
The mission of Angelman Syndrome Foundation is to advance the awareness and treatment of Angelman syndrome through education and information, research and support for individuals with Angelman syndrome, their families and other concerned parties. We exist to give all of them a reason to smile, with the ultimate goal of finding a cure.
