Information on Angelman Syndrome & cute kid video

[belle&beast]

I am a preschool SLP and one of my students has Angelman Syndrome. This is a new syndrome for me and I am learning a lot working with this sweetie! His parents are trying to educate people on AS and have given me permission to share this with everyone I know. It took a long time for them to get a dx and they are doing all they can to help others who may be in their situation.

Check out this youtube link and feel free to share it with anyone who may benefit from learning more about this syndrome.

Thanks for sharing. He says that 85% suffer from seizures...you might want to suggest posting this on the Epilepsy Foundation website...it could help someone who only has the seizures diagnosed?

I have a son with Autism and I work as a teacher's aide and have never heard of this disability, thank you for sharing. Linda

I remember learning the name, but this is my first experience and I am doing lots of research. Luckily the parents are awesome and understand that we are all learning together!
