International Angelman Syndrome Day


 

Every year, since its creation in 2013, International Angelman Day (I.A.D.) is observed on February 15 to create awareness about Angelman Syndrome.

Angelman Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder associated with developmental delay, epilepsy, speech impediments, motor problems, and behavioural and sleep problems, among other things.

What is the purpose of International Angelman Day?

·    Raise Angelman syndrome awareness worldwide.

·  Mobilize people to action & encourage fundraising for the AS organization in their country.

·    Promote research and educational resources in the organization’s own country.

·    Remember those people with Angelman syndrome who are no longer with us.
