Angelman Academy

This International Angelman Day (IAD), let’s empower individuals with Angelman syndrome (AS) to be part of the conversation. Angelman Academy has partnered with Tracey Campbell of ACT Consulting to create a one-page topic board, known as an aided language display, about AS. This can be downloaded and used with individuals of any age and ability. Consider printing it out on card stock or laminating the page for more durability. Language relevant to AS is organized to allow you to build sentences across the display. You can model for the AAC user by pointing to key words in a sentence as you speak and show them all the things they could say about IAD. Honor and encourage all forms of communication. Don’t worry if the learner appears uninterested or doesn’t seem to be paying attention because learning language takes time. Most importantly, don’t forget to presume potential!

“Communication is the essence of human life.” It’s how we connect and form relationships. It’s how we advocate for ourselves. AAC intervention can help people living with Angelman syndrome communicate more effectively. Every person living with AS is a candidate for AAC.
