How can I take care of my child with Angelman syndrome?

To help take care of your child with Angelman syndrome, follow their healthcare providers’ instructions for:

• Giving any medications as prescribed.
• Getting developmental assessments and physical, occupational and speech therapies.
• Going to all follow-up medical visits.

Children with Angelman syndrome will have problems with movement and behavior and will likely need help with daily tasks throughout their lives.

Your child’s healthcare team can answer questions and offer support. They also might be able to recommend a local or online support group.
