Angelman Syndrome

Angelman Syndrome is usually not recognized at birth or in infancy since the developmental problems are nonspecific during this time. Angelman Syndrome has confounded and confused the medical community and parents of Angelman individuals for hundreds of years. Initially presumed to be rare, it’s now believed thousands of Angelman Syndrome cases have gone undiagnosed or misdiagnosed as cerebral palsy, autism or other childhood disorders. 

I put this web site up for my grandson, he's my "Angel", my family and friends. 

To encourage parents, grandparents, legal guardians and care givers to advocate for their child, or the child they care for. To help enlighten the public about Angelman Syndrome.

Possible links to finding and getting the necessary help. The challenges we go through, trying to get help for a child born with a genetic disability or any other disability. 

To enlighten school districts about Angelman Syndrome. These are very intelligent people who need extra help. Whether it be transportation needs, communication devices or on hands help. They are not to be hidden from society “shipped out of town” for their life skills, or educational needs.

 
Today, we know Angelman Syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by abnormal function of the gene UBE3A, located within a small region (q11-q13) on chromosome #15.
