In the past 25+ years I have had the pleasure of assisting more than 75 children and young adults with Angelman Syndrome (AS) ‘find their voices.’ Given the nature of AS, this has always included the introduction of methods of communication (i.e. augmentative and alternative communication, or AAC) designed to supplement individuals’ existing communication strengths.
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.
